Martin,

A few things :

1) I've finally reverted the 'rename' -> 'ren' stuff to be 
'ren'->'rename' again, although I'm not clear why one is better than the 
other one...
2) I don't know why you get this build error. Looking at the very first 
lines of /makefile.vc, it seems that the VB6 support code should not be 
compiled. You could try to remove those lines in your local tree and see 
what happens, although I'd think that for some reason MSVC_VER=1500 is 
not set as you would like.
3) I've done a few commits to enable Win32 support of the VFK driver and 
the tests pass :-)
4) I've changed the configure.in logic to enable it on Unix platforms by 
default. I saw no reason for not enabling it by default as there are no 
external dependencies.
5) We have reverted your regeneration of configure done with autconf 
2.65 to re-update it with autoconf 2.61, which is the current "official" 
version of the GDAL project for updating autoconf from autoconf.in. If 
you need to update it in the future, please do it with that one (well, 
look at the comment in the header of current configure to check that 
this is still the current version ;-))
6) I've created ticket http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3314 with a few 
errors detected by Valgrind

Best regards,

Even
