Just answered you offline on this.  But try running build.bat in the src 
root directory.
There may be a few changes need for .net but they should be simple.  I 
never use
C for much other than the Wrapper so have never had the need to upgrade my
copy of vc++.

I would appreciate you posting any changes that are required to get 
things working
with the vc++ .net.

The .in files are source files used by the ant build to generate the 
actual source files
used by the Vc++ compiler.   If you run build.bat then they will be 
generated for
you.   They include such things as the version number and build time of 
the Wrapper.
for inclusion in the binaries and jar file.

run build.bat.

To create an actual release, run "build.bat release" on any platform.
