Makefile.msvc6 are obsolete. One should use simply "nmake" which takes
the Makefile files. I will delete the others from CVS.

This is ok if you use MS VC Studio, but if one downloads the free
packages, Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 and Microsoft Platform SDK, then
one should also run the SetEnv.cmd which comes with the SDK.

Probably you mean with
	nmake ECL_THREADS=1
I am now trying the build with ECL_THREADS="" and ECL_DEBUG="" and it
seems to work, apart from a flag "/link /nodefaultlib:libcmt" which is
required so that the free compiler only links against msvcrt.lib.

I'll look into that.
