DJ,

Case Closed:

While testing the 1.4.1 zips the other day I was reminded of this problem:

"C:\SVN\src-trunk\build\win32\msvc-dsp\swig_*_msvc.dsp has been modified
and cannot be loaded as a Developer Studio project."

I glanced back at this thread, and there it was, staring me in the face,
you said: "I'm using VS6 with Service Pack 6"...

My regular machine had SP6 installed, but sure enough my virtual machine
didn't -- I wish MS made it simpler to know what MSVC SP is installed, but
that's another story...

Anyway, I installed SP6 and the above problem disappeared.

May someone someday have the same problem, find this thread, and rejoice
:-)
