MSVC 8.x/2005 (both Express and non-Express editions) are not currently
officially supported. The convert80.js script, while provided with the
distribution, has not been verified to work with VS 2005 and will not
work at all with the Express editions since these do not correctly
implement the required automation methods.

We are working on a solution for the next OpenAMQ release, which will
probably be to do away with the conversion scripts altogether and
instead provide the workspaces for all the supported VS versions (6.0,
7.1, 8.0).

In the mean time, the most straightforward way to get the source
distribution to build under VS 2008 is to build APR using the IDE,
install it by hand, and then build the rest of OpenAMQ using the normal
build system.

I can provide some instructions for doing this if you'd like to go down
that route, but not today since I don't have anywhere to test them
right now.
