I did (assuming you mean Itanium). I first tried it with that approach,
then I talked Peter Tröger into developing vsextcomp, which is now used
in the CVS. So unless you have a specific reason to use 2.3.4, I
recommend to use 2.4.

If I had to do it again, I would use a vsextcomp procedure now: Import
the VC6 project files into VC7, then, using vsextcomp, generate Itanium
targets for them.
