I'm all in favor of adding support for VC9 (I've installed it too) but  
might we do it on the trunk instead?  The purpose of the release branch  
should be to consolidate things, not to add new stuff at the last  
minute.  I appreciate the enthusiasm and the effort (and I hate to rain  
on one's parade, especially since I'm doing it for the second time in a  
week already) but we drew a line when we created the branch.
