[pyrrlicht-developers] MSVC 6.0 --- buh-bye now!

[Kevin B. <kev...@gm...>]

After spending a few weeks wrangling with MSVC 6.0, and having it reject pretty 
much all code that would usefully eliminate a lot of boilerplate, I've decided 
enough is enough. MSVC 6.0 is holding back the project.

So, I've decided to dump it. As of now, Pyrrlicht will not support build on 
MSVC 6.0. Good riddance.

As a side effect of this decision, I am also officially deprecating support for 
Python 2.2 and 2.3. Those versions were built using MSVC 6.0, and while I think 
a .pyd built using, say MSVC 7.1 would work fine with those versions, it's not 
"officially" supported. I won't deliberately break build with pre-2.4 Pythons 
like I am with MSVC 6.0, but neither am I going to support attempts to build 
for those Pythons.
