Building any currently-active Mozilla branch with MSVC6 is impossible. We should nuke anything specific to MSVC6.

iirc, Neil still builds Mozilla *trunk* with MSVC6 on some system, with a few local hacks. I'm not sure the benefit to removing the little support in MozBuild is really high on our list.

How do the Wiki docs suggest building 1.8.x and earlier?

Doesn't really matter, they're unsupported branches, and old versions of MozillaBuild are still available on FTP if need be. (The current version still contains this code, so it wouldn't be until the next release that people would have a problem anyway.) Callek: it may not be high on our list, but if Mitch wants to patch it that's fine with me.
