Apart from the fact that I do not have MSVC (and I don't want it, either), 
there is another strong reason why I think Sebastian does not need ACKs or 
SOBs on MSVC patches: he has plenty of experience as a maintainer of a 
rather big (commercial) software that has to compile on Windows, MacOSX 
and several Unix-type OSes (and it is known that Sebastian is a Windows 
guy).

So I would trust Sebastian's patches (at least when it comes to MSVC) 
without even reviewing them.

Ciao,
Dscho
