I appreciate that, but that does not preclude building with VS2003.

I know. What I was thinking was an alternative set of files. So for
project X you would have X.vcproj and X_VS2003.vcproj. I guess it would
be too tedious to consider maintaining 2 sets of project files, although
it wouldn't be that hard.

Almost... I just created a VS2003 project and it compiled except for
use of some new CRT functions which seem to be protecting against buffer
overrun problems. I really don't see the point of using these
non-standard functions as you can easily do the same thing using
standard functions and/or checking lengths of input strings (and even
using /GS option which is available in VS2003).

VS2005 provides support for 64-bit platforms
(we ship a AMD64 build.)
I suspect the source files are not incompatible with VS 2003;
however, VS2005 upgrades the .sln and .vcproj files to a format
not usable by VS 2003.
Thanks,
Joseph
