Visual studio versions

[Graham Bloice <graham.bloice () trihedral com>]

A recent question on Ask Wireshark [1] brought up the issue of which
version of Visual Studio we should be targeting with releases.

Part of the issue is all the 3rd party libs that may be linked with a
specific version of the MSVC run-time DLL.

It has been suggested that we move to VS2012, is there a QT for 2012?
 Maybe even go to 2013.  I would like us to use the most recent (as long as
it's been out for 3 months or so) version of VS for a new release, is this
practical?

Apart form dev's own VS environments there are the buildbots to consider.

I also read somewhere else that MS will supply VS licences for open source
projects, do you know anything about that Gerald?
