Re: [AD] Build issue with CVS TOT

[AJ <aj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i haven't followed the thread much, but:

most of my recent tests on msvc7 have shown for the basic blitting (cpy, 
not per-pixel tweaking) that simple C code often compiles to be just as 
fast. for the per-pixel tweaking blit's  should be using MMX intrinsics.
those features aren't available on msvc6, but at some point msvc6 needs 
to be dropped.. the msvc7 free compiler is available for msvc6-IDE users.
