Description

MSVC 6 is an old compiler, released in 1998, but some people still use
it, particularly those motivated by the C runtime linking issue. It will
be hard to maintain support without a smoker, but the Lucy mainline
should be reasonably close to compatibility right now, so it's worth a
try to see if we can build and pass tests.
