Rubber-stamp is the best I can do here.

Also, what's with the couple garbage bytes at the beginning of lots of the generated files?

Did you mean to upgrade the toplevel solution?

Is this still true?

What is going on here? I see that 0x0501 is Windows XP... what was 0x0500?

This looks great to me.

One possibility would be to maintain a "WTF_vc2010.sln", but how many people build WTF by itself, who would want to continue doing so now that it builds under VS2010?  I think it's great to move the solution over ASAP.

0x0500 is Windows 2000.

Wouldn't it be nice to jettison Windows XP support as well?  We don't worry about OS X Tiger anymore...

I think those are the (optional) UTF byte order marks generated by Visual Studio when saving the files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark).

We still need to support XP here.

Should I get rid of the optional byte marks? I just let VS do its thing there.

Let's just let VS make the file the way it wants.  It might avoid problems with file formats changing from commit-to-commit if people have different native settings on their computers.

[Brent Fulgham]

Can you go ahead and land this change?

[Roger Fong]

Okay, landed here: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/140451

Sorry it took so long, I've been wrestling (physically) with Windows bots all day/last week.

Patch

[Brent Fulgham]

I've added a patch that helps to avoid build problems if you do NOT have the CYGWIN stuff in your standard path.

I also corrected the 'clean' stanza so that it works properly (at least under WTF).  I'm moving through the rest of the projects now, and should have some updates later.
