Re: Compiller error (Win32) Re: Temporary cvs setup for testing new 1.1 release

[David Sugar]

I gather from this that the VS2003 C++ compiler also does not handle 
dynamically sized arrays on the local heap (stack).  There is a #ifdef before 
there:

#if !defined(_MSC_VER) || _MSC_VER >= 1300
 
Appearently the check for _MSC_VER >= 1300 should be dropped...
