Hi,
Following discussion in another thread this patch moves the minimum
version of Windows supported in a default build of VIM up to Windows XP.
This should make it easier to use features in newer versions of Windows.
Changes are only in the various Windows make files that mention WINVER -
bc5, cygwin, ming, and MVC - but I only have VS so have not tested the
other compilers. Can others try the patch with other compilers and
report any problems please.
TTFN
Mike
