Actually, several people expressed concern about the requirement for 2008. 
At this point, I'm going to leave the patch in the tree (and I think it is 
appropriate for llvm 2.3).  If someone is motivated enough to make the 
project files work with VC++ 2005, they should revert the 2008 patch, 
update the project files, and recommit the 2005 versions.
