[ros-dev] rbuild msvc backend

[Ged Murphy]

We didn't support the toolkit in the first place, only the ability to
generate vcproj and sln files.

I think we should still at least support the MSVC 2003 Toolkit. I use it for
various stuff I have to compile with MSVC, because it is so much lighter and
I can add what I need to it easily.

On top of this, the compilers of these three versions don't support variadic
macros, which we use pretty often in our headers. (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177415%28VS.80%29.aspx)
So in any case, it would be hard to ever get them to compile ReactOS code
properly.

You have my OK for removing the support.

Best regards,

Colin
