-|1= code changes were to work around snprintf / _snprint / snprintf_s issues with the MSVC C library - I suspect the better solution would be to set some compile flags (DCRT_NO_WARNINGS etc) but these seem to keep getting stricter and stricter with each new MSVC version. They latest one is that snprintf cannot be a macro which defeats the snrpintf -> _snprintf macro we use several places in FlightGear and Simgear. For now I locally hacked it but not nice. The other issue is some template ambiguities around TiedProperty, I suspect this is a compiler weakness, when I explicitly specialised the functions the issues went way. I will commit those fixes (with a comment explaining why I had to manually specialise the templates) just as soon as I get my Windows machine back from the dead.
