Yep, its VC6.

I'm not sure its a good idea to update to VC7 because it uses a different
version of MS C runtime DLL's, which are bigger, and aren't on every
computer, while the VC5/6 ones are the same and everyone who has installed
anything will have them. Also VC7 has lots of "extra stuff", i.e. __gc to
make a class garbage collected, and its only a matter of time before
something conflicts in some way. Because of this its probably best to keep
VC6 as the default build for pingus on windows.
