Thanks. I think that should wrap up the topic of Visual Studio 2015 vs.
XP compatibility.

Starting with the next beta, the project files as available from GitHub
will not build XP-compatible binaries "out of the box" anymore (as it
turned out to make typical custom builds overly complicated); however,
instructions will be included on how to achieve XP-compatibility with a
more complex build process, which we'll also use for the official builds
(*).

(* Future development (alpha) builds may be an exception, as we'll
presumably be using the AppVeyor automated build service again for
those, and they might not allow to customize the build process to the
extent necessary.)
