@section Is Microsoft Visual C++ supported?
-No. Microsoft Visual C++ is not compliant to the C99 standard and does
-not - among other things - support the inline assembly used in Libav.
-If you wish to use MSVC++ for your
-project then you can link the MSVC++ code with libav* as long as
-you compile the latter with a working C compiler. For more information, see
-the @emph{Microsoft Visual C++ compatibility} section in the Libav
-documentation.
-
-There have been efforts to make Libav compatible with MSVC++ in the
-past. However, they have all been rejected as too intrusive, especially
-since MinGW does the job adequately. None of the core developers
-work with MSVC++ and thus this item is low priority. Should you find
-the silver bullet that solves this problem, feel free to shoot it at us.
-
-We strongly recommend you to move over from MSVC++ to MinGW tools.
-
-@section Can I use Libav under Windows?
-
-Yes, but the Cygwin or MinGW tools @emph{must} be used to compile Libav.
-Read the @emph{Windows} section in the Libav documentation to find more
-information.
+Yes. Please see the @uref{platform.html#Microsoft-Visual-C_002b_002b,
Microsoft Visual C++}
+section in the Libav documentation.
@section Can you add automake, libtool or autoconf support?
