That's still at least one year away from now, I think. And we need to
think when to stop supporting MSVC6, GCC2.95, BCB6 etc. old compilers.
As long as these compilers are supported, this granularity is usefull.

Actually, I'm little surprised that this thread has not come (yet) to
the issue of supporting old compilers. IMVHO, when it comes to testing,
these compilers are real problem.
