I'm sorry the Windows build files were out of date. I'm 
rather encouraged that somebody else wants to use Windows.

If you just want to run OpenBabel there is a compiled 
snapshot version a couple of months old on the download 
page, which you just need to download and run. It contains 
a command line and a GUI version.

If you want to compile on VC6, I have just updated the 
build files on CVS (new framework) for the standalone 
commandline version (project "OBabel"). There are a few 
ignorable warnings and the compression facility doesn't 
work (but the transparent ungzipping does). Let me know if 
there are difficulties.
