Strk,

Well, I can sympathize with that position, even if I can't take
it myself.

I don't see any VisualStudio directory in the 2.1.0 distribution.   Is
it only available in CVS?  I don't really want a project/workspace
file anyways, though I suppose if it worked smoothly enough it
would do. 

Paul -- yes, if you can provide CVS access I am willing to commit
VC.NET NMAKEfiles in the GDAL/PROJ/MapServer style.  I will
check with the list on any code changes before commiting them 
though.

Norman -- I think the problems I encountered are indeed
just compiler related, not really win32 issues.  I didn't keep
careful notes on my first run at stuff but they included:

 o The definition of int64 in platform.h lacks a win32 case. 
 o The use of the long long static uid in various items in geom.h caused
    a problem.   I just hacked out the UIDs as they don't seem to have any
    purpose. 
 o The base class toVector() returns a const result while the overrides return
    non-const. I had to change the base to non-const as well, though I am
    not clear what the original intent was. 
 o Some problems with time stuff for the profiler.  It was your mention of
    this that made me think you were building on win32 as well. 

I haven't gone back to try things on VC6 but if I do, i will
keep the stlport thing in mind.  I do my FWTools builds with
VC6, so if I am to GEOS enable that distribution I will need to
solve VC6 builds. 

Best regards,
