Windows build of CVS: time to retire MSVC6?

This message is primarily aimed at those who use Microsoft Visual Studio
to build the CVS executable from source (I hope I'm not talking to
myself, here :-)

Currently, the source in windows-NT/ is aimed at MSVC6, a rather archaic
software in this day & age (it's a whopping 8 years old :=)

I'm soliciting opinions on whether or how to migrate the Windows source
to Visual Studio 2005. Has anyone already tried this and would like to
share your experience? Does anyone have any objections to dropping
suport for MSVC6?
