Mr Ceolho

Fair enough. I am just raising the issues that VC++ raises. It is just a
warning and it can be disabled.

I appreciate the language instruction. Thanks you for the thread.

It doesn't seem that it will be that difficult to support VC++, for some
definition of support. Most of the stuff is working. They only major
departure that I have found so far is the lack the variable argument macros.

I understand that it we want to keep KHTML focused on KDE. I'll work to make
the Win32 stuff unintrusive.
