+*** Building the MS-Windows port with Visual Studio 2005 fails.
+
+Microsoft no longer ships the single threaded version of the C library
+with their compiler, and the multithreaded static library is missing
+some functions that Microsoft have deemed non-threadsafe.  The
+dynamically linked C library has all the functions, but there is a
+conflict between the versions of malloc in the DLL and in Emacs, which
+is not resolvable due to the way Windows does dynamic linking.
+
+We recommend the use of the MingW port of GCC for compiling Emacs, as
+not only does it not suffer these problems, but it is also Free
+software like Emacs.
