Actually, that is not "ideal", but what I want to avoid. As I do not do Windows, it simply is wrong for me to apply changes that are very likely to affect Windows folks without seeing their support first, which they may end up having to revert on their end and endlessly carry that revert forward. That is why I very much prefer to see changes get there first and then forwarded in my direction once they are happy with them. > There has been no activity here on the 'create a visual studio project' > aspects in the last few years.

The last significant commit was 74cf9bd (engine.pl: Fix a > recent breakage of the buildsystem generator, 2010-01-22) Ramsay Jones, > so that's five and a half years. I think Ramsay is still around on the list; I do not know if he still does Windows, though.
