Compiling with VC6

Hi,

when compiling the DBD::mysql driver with Visual C++ 6, I receive the
following linker error:

mysqlclient.lib(password.obj) : error LNK2001: Unknown external
Symbol __ftol2

According to


http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/e n-us/vccore/html/vcrefQIfistSuppress_ftol.asp

the problem can be disabled by using the compiler switch /QIfist. I do not
know, whether this will have any side effects on the client library. If so,
could we find a workaround? If not, could the switch be used when compiling
the client library? I hope, that Visual C++ will not be a "must" from now
on.


Regards,

Jochen
