    Target Windows Vista+ (not Windows XP) and enable enhanced instruction sets · 85945505
    Rob Swindell authored
    Synchronet v3.20 doesn't actually work on Windows XP due to depenendies in
    3rd party libraries we link with and more recent ciolib improvements.
    
    So, no need to use an ancient WinSDK (7.0) or toolset anymore. Hooray!
    I'm not changing the versions of C or C++ language enabled (yet), but that's
    something we should consider doing.
    
    Also, re-enable enhanced x86 processor extensions (e.g. SSE2) as I doubt very
    much you can run Windows Vista on a pre-2000 CPU anyway. If this is a problem
    for anyone, it's trivial to disable the processor extensions again.
