Basically yes. Making the diff between original code and the VS2005
version apply cleanly on the Linux branch would take quite a lot of
work. Not to mention getting all those conceptual changes into CMake
syntax have to be done by hand.

The current trunk already compiles almost half way on VS2008 express
edition. Porting it from the MinGW branch has been quite
straightforward. I estimate finalizing the MinGW -> VS2008 port takes
a lot less work, so I'm going to focus on that. If someone else can
make Cognitive's work easily applicable to current Linux version,
patches are gladly welcome.
