There's not much that happened for the C++ compiler between MSVC 2005 
and MSVC 2008, see [1]. So I don't think that we're running into 
problems supporting 2005.

Instead of looking at the compiler, maybe we should agree on a minimum 
version of the Windows SDK which implicitely defines a minimum version 
of the MSVC compiler?
