Support for MS VC++ dropped

The possibility to compile ROBODoc with MS VC++ will be removed in V4.99.28. The reason for this is that MS VC++ is too limited in comparison to gcc under cygwin. This way functions like fork() and snprintf() can be used without having to worry about how to still get everything compiled under MS VC++.

That is not a good news. Thanks for your great work.

Just use MINGW GCC and you are cured :)

I have not had trouble compiling ROBODoc with MSVC 2005 - it has snprintf, among other things.
(no fork, though)
