There is no point to maintain one more copy of the same stuff. I noticed
that MSVC7 makefiles for B1_5_Release were broken for 2 months already
and nobody noticed.
Nobody maintained VS2002 makefiles neither for B1_5_Release nor HEAD for
long time thus I made the decision to convert them to VS2003 because it
is more convenient for me.

If you need to build with VS2002 then go there, download and use the
converter:

It is a console application and may be used in batches if you want.
