3.1 (22 Feb 2009-26 Apr 2009)
- Prototype task for moving from VC6 to VS2008.
  * Use <fstream>, not <fstream.h>
    http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread11430.html
  * Then add
    using namespace std;
    after the #include (or ofstream, endl etc. all need std:: prefixes)
  * open() has only two parameters now, e.g. open("abc", ios_base::out);
  * The rest of the problems were in XMLParamIO.
    Iterators used to be pointers (VC6), and now they're structs (VC9).

    See in particular thread from benjamino beginning 19 Aug 2003 at

  * Tried Boost Property Tree: http://kaalus.atspace.com/ptree/doc/index.html
    ... with bugfix by http://www.nabble.com/-Property-Tree--Compilation-issue-with-Boost-1.37.0-Beta-1-issue-td20162992.html
    ... however, it's not quite correct, and it's not supported properly.
    So let's use Boost Serialization with its XML option.
    ... it's *very* nice, but it would break old stuff (which for e.g.
    MonkeyCantab is complicated).
    So we are back to fixing the XML ParamIO library.
    Fixed (after some effort!).
    Make sure the correct debug v. release version is linked (or it crashes).
  * Include/library directories as specified in EnvironmentVariablesForWhisker.txt
  * Minor int/unsigned int warning fixed.
  * Explicit string casts for some of property_tree usage.
  * Add to various library directories:
		mfc42.lib
		mfc42d.lib
		mfcs42.lib
		mfcs42d.lib
		msvcirt.lib
		msvcirtd.lib
  * remove linked library for XMLParamIO
  * changes made to WhiskerClientLib
  * Mersenne Twister changed to Boost libraries (though also using a Mersenne Twister internally).
