[opensource-dev] autobuild with VS2005

Linux-based dev here, so be aware my answer is based on hear-say, not
own experience.

AFAIK, you should use OpenSourceRelease, OpenSourceRelWithDebInfo or
OpenSourceDebug as the configuration rather than Release, RelWithDebInfo
or Debug. The configurations without the "OpenSource" prefix in the name
are meant for LL's internal use and might require availability of 3rd
party libraries that LL isn't allowed to re-distribute.

[Question to anyone who might know:] Does that configuration still serve
any purpose? I thought the VCExpress issue(s) was/were solved in a way
that'd also work for non-Express VS10 and thus was merged into the
normal OpenSource* configurations for Windows? Or was that just planned
but didn't get executed (yet)?
