That's interesting -- was there a discussion I missed about the 'required set'
of compilers / standard libraries?   Somehow I was under the impression that
each library author was still pretty much deciding what to do with these. If
I'm reading the table correctly this mean that we've agreed that VC6 is going
to be dropped?
