[Development] Removing MSVC2008 from the CI build farm?

[Chris Colbert]

There are still some very large enterprise users running on vc2008 build
systems. Would this mean that all hope for building new releases on vc2008
would be lost, or that it just may take more effort than normal? As it
stands, I had to apply some manual fixes to get 5.1 to build with vc2008,
but it wasn't the end of the world.

My $0.02 is that it may be a year or two too early to completely kick
vc2008. After all, it's still the compiler which ships with the Windows 7 &
.NET 3.5 SDK...
