Hi Don,
VC6 project files will still be included and supported for the next
release of Xalan and beyond.

I would agree if you're going to go to vc7, go straight to 7.1 (2003).
However, if you distribute vc7 project files, it means the project files
cannot be loaded by anyone running vc6. As far as I can see, most people
have *not* upgraded to vc7. I'm not sure what to do about this, but I
suspect you'll get a lot of complaints. It will certainly cause me problems
-- I can't upgrade until my coworkers do, and that's not my decision. So
I'll be forced to create vc6 projects.
You could supply two sets of project files, but that's a support headache.
Does anyone have any experience with this, perhaps automated ways to
convert project files back and forth?
--- time for a quick web search ---
Hmm, I see a vc7 to vc6 project converter at codeproject. Maybe that would
do. Has anybody used it?
