Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark 1.6: End support of older Windows Compilers/SDKs ?

Speaking of support [1], for the eventual Wireshark 1.6 release I suggest consideration of ending support for older Windows compilers/SDK's. (Wireshark 1.4 would continue to support compilers as now).

For Wireshark 1.6:

Support the following ?

!ELSEIF "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2005"   || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2005EE" || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "DOTNET20"   || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2008"   || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2008EE" || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2010"   || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2010EE"

and not these ?

!IF     "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC6"      || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2002"   || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "DOTNET10"   || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2003"   || \
        "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "DOTNET11"


Comments ?
