Jerry -
I use Visual Studio 6 (vintage 1990s) to build the Windows install
kits, which can be found here:
http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/ .
Everything you need to build with VS6 is in the repository. Optional
libs can be found at the link I just listed.
I have to say that when I looked at converting to VS 2003 (I think),
it was annoying. Mats may have succeeded, however, but I'm not 100%
sure.

In response to your footnote #1:
I don't remember growing older,
When did they?

Can you build XEmacs successfully with Visual Studio 2010?
I haven't figured out how to do so yet. In order to make TLS support
available on Windows, I borrowed my college-going son's laptop [1][2].
He's got Visual Studio 2010 on it. I'm stymied at step #1: Visual
Studio 2010 claims to be unable to use either nt/xemacs.dsp or
nt/xemacs.dsw. But it looks like these files have not been updated
for a few years.
Heck, I'm so ignorant of how things work on Windows platforms, that
I'm not even sure how to build, install, or use the 3rd party
libraries we need.
If somebody has this working, is there any chance I could get a
snapshot of your workspace, or step by step instructions? All I want
to do is see if I can get TLS support working with the native Windows
DLLs. That's all. Such a simple thing to want, and the path forward
looks so complex to my poor Linux-addled brain....
Footnotes:
[1] Just how did I come to be old enough to have a kid in college? I
don't remember growing older.
[2] Yes, he is living at home and attending college, totally missing
out on the dorm experience.
