Hi Thom,

You're right. There was small bug, likely caused by my changes I made 
for Windows CE port.
I've just applied patch to the CVS repository.
Do clean checkout from CVS and it should work.
I've just tried to build GDAL with VC++ 7.1 and it compiles well.


If you don't want to do clean checkout, here is the patch.
Just replace the line marked with (-) with line marked with (+).
In case of any problem give me a note.
