Hey man, thanks for your reply.
It's funny to get an answer almost 2 years after the topic was initially posted, but it's good to see that you people are still around.

Meanwhile, VC Express 2008 is out and I could ask the same question had I not been dropping out of Half-Life related coding activities quite some time ago.
It's kind of sad, but time just does not stand still. Sometimes I'd like to go back to the golden times of 1998-2003 when HL1 and its mods were at their peaks.
