I applied the same changes manually to VS7.1 and VC6 files; completely untested.
(Christian, don't try too hard merging this change into py3k.
It will be easier to do the same work again on the branch)
based on the VS 2008 build directory to PC/VS8.0. The script
PCbuild/vs8to9.py was added to sync changes from PCbuild to PC/VS8.0.
Kristjan, the initial creator of the PCbuild8 directory is fine with the replacement. I've moved the new version of the VS 2005 build directory next to the other legacy build directories. The new sync script is based on the work of wreck and syncs changes in the project, property and solution files.
