I can now build an OSG application (in this case the Multi-Purpose Viewer) using MSVC and debug it without even having to compile the OSG. I'm not sure if other people's MSVC developed OSG apps differ much in this respect, but I can't even /run/ a debug build of the Multi-Purpose Viewer in Windows unless I'm linking against OSG Debug libraries (otherwise it crashes). Thanks Mike for making the debug libraries available. It should make it much easier for people to develop the Multi-Purpose Viewer (and perhaps other apps?) with MSVC because this way they don't have to build the OSG right away (along with all of the 3rd party plugins that they may potentially need) =) -- Philip Lowman
