Compiler poll - aggregate results

Luigi Ballabio
Hi all,
        in case you were wondering, with 18 data points, the results where:

Visual C++ 7.x:  56 %
gcc 3.x:         33 %
Visual C++ 6.0:  11 %

of which I'm glad, as the majority uses modern compilers. In turn, this  
means that from now on, my personal policy will be to #define away any new  
features that don't compile cleanly on VC6. Of course, I'll welcome patches  
if anybody gets them to compile; but as the time I can give to the project  
is limited, I'll rather spend it on new features.

Thanks,
        Luigi
