This version of the Microsoft Vision SDK has been (partially) 
modified to compile under Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (ver. 8). 

The projects: VisCore, VisMatrix and VisXCLAPACK now compile
without any major issues. The remaining projects have not been 
modified. Their corresponding binaries are produced earlier
using MSVC 6.0 which may cause problems in projects using 
other parts of the Vision SDK than the above mentioned three
subprojects. 

Remaining source files should thus be updated at a later stage 
to finalize the migration.

Changes include:

- added use of 'typename' (marked by 'MBS')
- commented out direct draw functionality (marked by 'MBS DDRAW')
- commented out preprocessor statements causing linking to
  direct draw libraries (see viscoreproj.h)
- removed the following libraries from the VisCore project 
  settings: "DXGUID.LIB ddraw.lib AMSTRMID.LIB STRMBASD.LIB"
- conformance to the stl edition included in MSCV 2005

All changes have been implemented by commenting out the
problematic code and adding the string 'MBS'. New code 
has been placed below.

Please, do not distribute this modified version.
