Subject: Building Emacs with MSVC

Does anybody know which version of MSVC successfully built Emacs last?
This blog post
http://derekslager.com/blog/posts/2007/01/emacs-hack-3-compile-emacs-from-cvs-on-windows.ashx
points to MSVC 2003 as a version that apparently worked. According to
the post and comments in the Emacs makefiles, MSVC 2005 does not work.
I have MSVC 2008 Express Edition installed and I have the trunk to the
point where it compiles and links, but crashes when dumping Emacs on
nmake bootstrap. The necessary changes to get to this point included
various source files, and nmake.defs. I will submit patches for some of
these.
Anyway, I was wondering what the general status of MSVC support is.
While working on the make dist target I realized how painful MSVC
support can be.
