OK, I have tested this out with the development branch and Visual Studio 
Express 2013 for Windows Desktop, on Windows Server 2008 R2-SP1 64 bit. 
With a slight adjustment to make the patch apply it works fine.

How far back should we go? About a year ago when we did this we applied 
it for 9.2 (then the latest stable release) and 9.3dev.
