No - that wasn't the plan. The mpir library won't build with the old compilers (as MSVC-compliance relating to the underscores is expected, and non-compliance not catered for.) The thought was that if the mpir build process could easily and reliably detect that the compiler was too old, the build could be aborted with a message along the lines of "this compiler is too old, and is incapable of building mpir - you need a compiler that was built after 28/04/2010". I was just making the enquiry on their behalf.
