Hi,

Are we going to keep supporting the old build system now we don't need 
it anymore to generate the Windows binaries.

As far as Interbase is concerned, it needs to be either updated or 
removed, and personally I prefer the latter.

'The old build system' happens to be standard.. php-gtk for one relies at
present on a standard PHP build rather than the new one.  I doubt it's
alone.

You mean .dsw and .dsp? I use those all the time for Visual C++ development.

And anybody who suggests removing Interbase will have a large section of 
active Firebird users on their heads.
If you want to get rid of anything make it MySQL :)
We WILL produce a clean Firebird module to replace the current Interbase 
one, but are waiting for PHP5 to be released before embarking on that path!
