 // can be used where libs must be added conditionally, for those compilers that

-// Newer versions of VC++ support the /GS option which add buffer overflow
-// checks. This adds into the generated code calls to support functions in in
-// the runtime library.
-//
-// Starting with VC++ 8 this option is on by default, and code such as the
-// runtime library that we need to link is compiled with it. Some versions of
-// the runtime library don't include the support code, and a separate library
-// bufferoverflowu.lib must be linked. If all versions of VC++ 8 that can
-// compile wxWidgets have this lib we can link it here, if not then this will
-// have to be removed.
