I obviously don't have the knack of proposing then :)

What I was trying to say was that it would be a good idea to make
third party lib collections for the various VC versions and make them
available for building. It would give us a way to test both the build
system and the libs themselves (and of course PHP) in the various
CRTs. It would mean that we can just upgrade when we're ready, instead
of being pushed into it when Microsoft are ready (as I strongly
believe is happening now) or having to panic when Apache are ready
(which William's told us is likely imminent). It would make it
possible to have non-official 'experimental' builds in alternative
CRTs, while also retaining a single official build on php.net.

I do think it's important to have a single official build. The thought
of having to explain 'C runtime' to every PHP newb just gives me the
willies...
