I tried to compile them with Visual C++ 7.0 and it did not work, as some of 
the libraries (e.g. serialization, if I remember correctly) marked that 
compiler as obsolete. Therefore, I doubt that it will work with Visual C++ 
6.0.

If the libraries (I actually meant *all* of them, as I don't know how to 
compile them individually) don't work with Visual C++ 6.0, then I will 
indeed have to buy Visual C++8.0. However, those guys at Redmond are 
boasting about giving away the lastest version of their compiler for free, 
so I am reluctant to do pay for it...
