Subject: Rebake all project files to reflect MSVC deprecation warnings defines.
X-Git-Url: https://git.saurik.com/wxWidgets.git/commitdiff_plain/ba7512e14d2e148a5734d7727957470d0daf77fd

Rebake all project files to reflect MSVC deprecation warnings defines.

Rebake all the projects after the changes of r70182, even if they're only
really needed for the library itself, the other project files should
correspond to the bakefiles contents too.

git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@70531 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775
