Oops -- I don't look far enough. A different part still doesn't compile, at least not in a debug build:

That's because the VERSION define in the debug build read

/D VERSION="1.95.2"

whereas MSVC had wanted it as

/D VERSION="1.95.2"

I still fail to see the rationale for requiring the backslashes there, or why I have to change every setting twice on Windows (which I forgot in this case); in any case, I moved the VERSION setting into expat.h, so this problem should be gone now.
