MSVC support is gone. The Microsoft compilers are not particularly
robust (in particular there have been problems with VC 7.0 Express,
IIRC). Maintaining the build for the inadequate and hard to automate
tools provided by M$ was something that I considered not worth the
weffort. Also because it would require keeping up to date
with proprietary development software. Mingw works quite well, has the
better compiler (in terms of maintenance and quality, IMHO), is open
source and allows cross-compiling.
