[Bf-committers] request: semiofficial/unofficial testing builds for gameengine demo contest

This is not entirely true. It just depends whether you link to the
static or dll version of the Microsoft C runtime libraries. A while
ago I posted some scons config files that compiles without these
dependencies on a MSVC 8 platform.

A testing build against recent CVS can be found here if anyone wants to confirm:

This includes my console patch (only enabled with -c command line
flag) but I can make another such build against a clean checkout if
required.

Cheers,
Jacques
