Alternatively, I could simply upgrade to VS 2012 :-). It might be a good time to do this, right before going to the hackathon :-). OTOH, I tend to think that my ancient machine / setup provides a bit of extra coverage for the project :-). So if your changes for VS 2010 support work out, I might stick to that for the time being ... -- Johan
