+UNSUPPORTED METHODS
+-------------------
 - natively on Windows, using MSYS+MINGW (www.mingw.org)
   (MSYS is a minimal build environment to compile Unixish projects under
   windoze. It provides all the common Unix tools like sh, gmake...)
   Please note that the gettext utilities are not included in the default
   MSYS/MINGW packages so you won't be able to build VLC with i18n support.
 
-- natively on Windows, using Microsoft Visual C++. Even though we provide some
-  msvc project files with vlc, this method is advised only if you just want to
-  experiment/play with some basic functionality in vlc. The reason for this
-  is that vlc depends on a lot of 3rd party libraries and building them in
-  MSVC is not convenient and sometimes even impossible.
-  ( NOTE: if you want to run vlc under the msvc debugger, you need to run it
-    with the --fast-mutex --win9x-cv-method=1 options because the debugger
-    usually loses signals sent by PulseEvent() )
