[Insight-developers] Visual Studio 6.0

[Karthik Krishnan]

Its probably reasonable to query the user's list to see if there are a
significant number of users (probably very few considering that VS9 is
scheduled for a release in 2008).

That said. I agree with Luis that Version 4.0 is a good time to drop support
for VS9. An significant digit increase in version number reflects a
significant change in the toolkit. Or, if you drop support at the next
release, increment the version number to 4.0.
