Subject: Broken Windows build
From: steph@php.net ("Steph Fox")

Hi all,

Last week PHP_5_3 out of CVS built on my box under VC6; today it does not.

I have been told on irc (thanks Liz) that there is no intention of fixing 
the breakage because 'the 2003 SDK has been a requirement since PHP 5.1'. 
This is the first I ever heard of any such requirement - everything has 
'just worked' until now with standard out-of-the-box VC6, with or without 
SP* applied.

Can someone please either explain the need to break a working build system 
just before a PHP release or else revert whatever changes caused the 
breakage?

Thanks,

- Steph
