[Bf-committers] Obsolete Bullet projectfiles? Re: CVS commit:blender/extern/bullet/BulletDynamics BLI_BulletDynamics.dsp

[Erwin Coumans]

?!?

Anyway, unless someone still needs those files below, we can removed them 
after the 2.42 release ;-)

 blender/extern/bullet/Bullet/Bullet3.dsp
 blender/extern/bullet/Bullet/Bullet3_vc7.vcproj
 blender/extern/bullet/Bullet/Bullet3_vc8.vcproj
 blender/extern/bullet/Bullet/Bullet3_vc8.sln
 blender/extern/bullet/Bullet/BulletDynamics.dsp
 blender/extern/bullet/Bullet/BulletDynamics_vc8.vcproj
 blender/extern/bullet/Bullet/BulletDynamics_vc7.vcproj

Thanks,
Erwin
