The old solution worked fine for that compiler and the new one fails when wxLogXXX() is used inside a switch statement to the wrong rules used by VC6 for the scope of the variables defined inside the for loop. Simply revert back to using the old version for it, this will be easy to re-revert after 3.0 by simply removing the check for it.
