Hi,

this was already suggested at least once last year. But now with master
this is pretty justified.

In the light of the PdbProject presense, removing the *.dsw *.dsp files
will simplify things negating the need to update those on every change.
Also, those files are in VS2005 format, but master is buildable with at
least VS2012.

Anyone who needs the Visual Studio GUI, can generate project files using
the PdbProject. It's available with VS2012 and up

http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/952cac4e-fe4d-40a8-9656-9ae863bedbff

Thus, I'm asking whether someone would miss the dsw/dsp files. I would
remove those from master some when next week otherwise.

Regards

Anatol

Insert 'kill_it_with_fire.jpg' here, lets do it. I already tried it a
few years ago but it had to be reverted

At the risk of cluttering list traffic with "me too", you've got my
vote.  The config.w32 system is properly ancient by internet
standards, we can certainly afford to do away with its predecessor,
especially if there's a BC option for that one rando running PHP on
Windows 95.

Hello,

shouldn't be this code removed as well?

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/ext_skel_win32.php#L38-L51

I can create PR but I'm not sure if I'm correct. Also, probably it just 
would be faster to remove it for someone with php-src karma than merge PR.

Thanks,
Maciej.
