[Gdal-dev] Visual Studio 2005, GDAL and Manifests

[Simon Perkins]

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for the discussion on this matter - it's cleared up
several issues for me as to how to make this Visual Studio thing work.
Guess I didn't look at Ben's project files quite as closely as I should
have...

Cheers,

Sy
