msvc6 wasn't supported by Jaroslaw's kdelibs3/win32 and I wonder how tt mangaged to get Qt4 compile with this 'compiler'. So you don't need to take care about this. Don't know if we should support VS .Net2002/2003 - I think we all using msvc2005 or gcc...

Currently no, only kdelibs. Maybe we should extend this to some apps? But I don't have a machine big enough to run a dashboard each day... it takes ~1hour to compile kdelibs only on my machine.
