Successful builds with current cvs were reported with the c++ compiler  
of Visual Studio .Net 2003. I will clearify this in the 2.0.5 release  
notes that will come later today. Which version of "VC++" would that  
be? And is there a version of eVC++ that shares the underlying  
machinery of the .Net 2003 c++ compiler?

The template support of the older versions is too poor to work with  
libsigc++-2.0.
