[vtkusers] Can we drop Visual Studio 6 support?

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
	I still use VC++ 6.0 on Windows XP / Server 2003 for developing VTK  
applications. It's light and simple, and I don't use any .NET features  
or capability. Further more, I only use the VC++ compiler as a back  
end, to a real-time UML based modeling/auto-code generation environment.

Best regards,

Elvis
