I just tried VS 2005 and VS 2008 and they do not understand the keyword 
'inline', which is part of C99.  This is when compiling as C (which is how the 
FreeSCI VS project is set compile).  Setting it to compile as C++ would take 
care of that one.  I'm not sure what other features of C99 were desired, and if 
most of them are features available in C++.  Some of the FreeSCI code doesn't 
compile as C++, but this should be relatively easy to fix (if not already 
fixed, I'm using the month old 0.6.3rc4 source code).
