I think it might be VS6 specific - I didn't actually try VS6 since I
don't have it installed anywhere at the moment.

Incidentally, it's a different problem to what John Unwin is having - I
still think in his case it's just a mixup of libraries / VC++ versions
or something.

The Windows build system definitely needs an overhaul - at the moment it
tries to be smart and detect what VC version you're using.  I'd like to
kill that, and change it so that the user must set two variables - one
specifying the home directory of their VC/Visual Studio installation and
another specifying the version of the installed software (6, 7.1,
8/8Express).

Doing it this way will (hopefully) solve most problems people are having
on Windows.
