It seems that most of the communites are still in VC 6. Remember the key
reason we keep using it, MS dropped support for exporting makefiles. With
no makefiles, you are roped into supporting only version x or newer Studio
products. With .dsp/.dsw solutions, we can export makefiles on the old
reliable VC 6, and users can load/convert these into Studio 2000/03/05.
So why not distribute the VC6 dsp/dsw files but (officially) build
with VS05 yourself?
Because, as noted, it's not compatible with binaries precompiled for most
languages that users would like to load into the running server, chief
amoung them being perl. (The PHP module is far less invasive, and generally
follows the portability rules I set forth in another note, w.r.t. not handing
off clib resources from httpd to modphp and back.)
