Those were manual changes to the .vcproj files.

This is what I already did, so I'm not blocked.

No need to complicate things: I do have access to VS2008 and
will install it on my computers and VMs. It's just taking time.

The only thing is that I was not sure whether the resource issue
was an accident and whether we continue support for VS2005.
Maybe, we should make such decissions more transparent in future.
For example, there should be an early warning for the switch from
Greta to TR1. Then everybody can prepare in time or plead for a
postponement, if necessary.
