Brian Curtin added the comment:

Definitely keeping PC/VS9.0 as it's still fairly common and VS2008 is still 
used by us for 2.7.

I would like to remove PC/VS8.0 but if anyone speaks towards keeping it then I 
think it's fine.

Do you want to keep VS9.0 only?
Sounds good to me.

[issue16769] Remove some old Visual Studio versions from PC/ directory

[Brian Curtin]

New submission from Brian Curtin:

While fixing #14470 to remove w9xpopen support, removing it from old Visual 
Studio projects came up.

1. I can't imagine anyone is attempting to use most of these.
2. Since we don't backport build changes to these older versions, some of them 
are very out of date and can't be that useful.

I propose to remove the following:
1. PC/VC6 - this version is from 1998 and is the last compiler to support 
Win9x, which we just removed support for with the w9xpopen change via PEP 11.
2. PC/VS7.1 - this version is from 2003 and still contains references to WISE 
installer, which IIRC has not been used since 2.3. On top of that, it's missing 
many of the current project files.

I'm skeptical of PC/VS8.0's use as Visual Studio 2005 is pretty old and it too 
is missing many current project files, but there is a conversion script that 
may help point someone in the right direction. I do remember Hirokazu Yamamoto 
mentioning using 2005 for some purposes, but this was years ago.
