What is all this? These are windows builds for Open Source Software. The compiles here are built with MSVC6 (Microsoft Visual C 6), MSVC7 (Microsoft Visual C 2002 also called Microsoft Visual Studio .NET), MSVC7.1 (Microsoft Visual C 2003 also called Microsoft Visual Studio .NET), MSVC8 (Microsoft Visual Studio 2005), and the MSVC9 (Microsoft Visual Studio 2008). What's the difference? The MSVC7, MSVC7.1, MSVC8, and MSVC9 builds use different C runtime than the standard Micosoft C runtime included in all versions of windows. Because mixing runtimes in your applications can have unusual effects this could be a bad thing, also you must install a runtime that is not standard on windows systems, but the binaries are generally faster and smaller, and perform better.
