[webkit-dev] [win] VS2008?

[Thomas Brodt]

I currently do not build WebKit yet, but plan to do so. So I haven't 
looked at any build scripts yet. And as webkit.org explicitly says that 
VS2008 is not supported, I didn't try. I hoped VS2008 would be 
officially supported when I finally got the time to start my Webkit project.

In the bug tracker, I found to bugs related to Visual Studio 2008, one 
resolved for the documentation only (that 2008 is not supported: 18186) 
and another one about unresolved issues with friends (22299). So I 
assumed it wouldn't work.
