Yes, but you will probably have to modify the build scripts. Using 2005 is
described in src/win32/README.vc8
However, you should know that we are within hours of dropping support for
Microsoft compilers. I suspect by next Monday all Win32 builds will be done
using GNU C cross-compile tools on Linux, with the exception of building the
installer file, which will probably be done on Win32.

No, and it is not something that I am likely to personally attempt.

I'm not sure what the best answer is. I'd probably be tempted to start with
the current SD. However it is oriented toward Unix systems, and is overly
complicated, though over time I am cleaning it up. I'm not sure I would want
to try to write a new one, though it would *certainly* be much cleaner in
design.
