VS2005 is VC80.

Well Wireshark is prepared for Visual Studio 6.0 til VS2010 except VS2003 as 
you find in config.namke:

##### Microsoft Visual C / Studio Variant #####
# For the different Studios, see: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio
# only one of the following MSVC_VARIANT settings should be used
# BTW: The "Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003" DOESN'T WORK for WS!

# "Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0"
# Visual C++ 6.0, _MSC_VER 1200, msvcrt.dll (version 6)
#MSVC_VARIANT=MSVC6
.....

As you can see (http://buildbot.wireshark.org/trunk/one_line_per_build), 
buildbot compiles for different windows platforms (win7, winXP). Isn't the 
problem with the compiler version less important than a non-compilable 
release version? Compiling with different compiler had stopped releasing 
this buggy version.
