That should not be the case, I sent in a complete vc7 project over the
weekend and then the missing memory.jcproj the other day. I tested this last
night and had no problems with a clean copy of cvs. So the vc7 projects in
cvs do work.

I don't pretend to be an expert with vc ( I was always a linux developer and
I am new to windows) but there are usually differences with output from
different versions of compilers, so are name mangling type problems and
others are ABI changes. My guess, with microsoft is that this will happen
without execption, I don't think i have ever used a new version of anything
that didn't change the fileformats. :)

I don't have mysql on my machine and have not run into any problems with
mysql linking problems, what are you trying to compile. I must have missed
the server stuff. I only tested the client. I didn't look at the server
stuff at all yet.
