Yes.  There are just a few more directories.  The basic install
structure is unchanged.

The compiler is selected at runtime.  The installer detects all
available VS versions (see next paragraph).  Support for all other
compilers is also installed in case they are available.

The license of the VS library does not allow me to copy and patch the
headers and distribute them in the GCC-XML source.  Instead I detect at
install time what VS compilers are installed, copy their headers on the
target machine, and then patch them.

The windows installer for 0.6.0 was created by a commercial tool.
Without it I don't think the config file will help (it's binary IIRC).
