Hi All...

I just tried the latest snapshot and it worked fine for me...but it would be useful
if others tried it out as well.

I did (with my MSVC2008 environment set up)

cd to snapshot directory

make vc9

cd lib

nmake /f Makefile.vc9 CFG=release WINDOWS_SSPI=1

cd ../src

nmake /f Makefile.vc9

Thanks,

...Karl
