I'm fine with the status quo as long as the community steps in and helps. I can't test every flavor of VS everytime a file has changed. I'm having trouble to test VS 2003 since I installed VS 2008. The installation is somehow conflicting with Nant. > I doubt that.

Perhaps we can backport the PCbuild9 files to PCbuild8 somehow. I leave the task to somebody else. At least my patch for distutils.msvccompiler should work for VS 8.0 and VS 9.0.
