I started working in this problem space ca 2003-2004, and proposed a
very rough patch 2005. Ralf help immensely and it all got into a much
better shape. 2006 was the first time my patches showed up in a form
that resembles what's in the pr-msvc-support branch. Ralf created the
branch in 2008 with the intention that the work should not bit-rot
completely. But having the branch in the official repo has made me
reluctant to rebase, refactor and otherwise change things even though
it is not correct or "tasty" enough, so the branch has not really
worked from my point of view.

Cheers,
Peter
