Ah, that. I would certainly hope so - although we may see 3.0a3 first, as VS 2008 is planned for February. > In other words: Do we want to support outdated compilers for legacy > reasons or can we stick to 2005 as the minimum version? We keep the build files around for a while in the PC subdirectory. Sometimes, people contribute patches to keep them working, and as long as there are users, I see no reason to drop the build files. Python should *definitely* continue to compile with older compilers (although breaking them is fine if they don't provide header files for functionality that we would like to use). > The directory > and registry layouts of 8.0 and 9.0 are almost identical.

VisualStudioProject::Version indicates what compiler version a project file is good for, so I think the PCbuild9 directory can only work with VS 2008.
