[vtkusers] visual studio 2008 and v6.0a sdk missing glaux.h

Microsoft compilers prior to Visual Studio 2008 Beta2 installed a
platform sdk with the files used by the vtk build:
  gl.h
  glaux.h
  glu.h

With the Visual Studio 2008 Beta2 installation the glaux.h file is no
longer included which breaks the vtk build with the following error:

\vtk\Rendering\vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx(34) : fatal error C1083:
Cannot open include file: 'GL/glaux.h': No such file or directory

Here is the code in vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx:
  #if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined (__BORLANDC__)
  # include "vtkWindows.h"
  # include <GL/glaux.h>
  #else
  # include "vtkOpenGL.h"
  #endif

Has anybody tried building with the Visual Studio 2008 Beta2 compiler?
 Are there any plans to work around the missing glaux.h?

Thank you,
Jon
