There's no plan to support MSVC 6.0.  Martin routinely checks things
in that break it, and that's fine.  The only reason it *has* worked
until recently is that people sometimes volunteer to patch up the 6.0
part of the tree.  I gave some days to that at the start, because I
didn't have a machine at the time that *could* run 7.1.  Now I do, so
I pay a lot less attention to 6.0 (and Win98SE) now.

IOW, 6.0 never had, and still doesn't have, a champion (== someone
willing to keep it working) for 2.4.

I would have volunteered, but your report of a stack overflow in
test_pyclbr scared me away <wink>.
