I don't know the details, grubba is the one that has been trying to get 8.1 to build on the existing VC9 Windows build machines. So anything that doesn't break VC9 is probably fine.
I'm having trouble finding authoritative information on what VC9 supports (MS don't seem to carry much information on their older compilers - they carry precious little even on the current ones - so I'm depending on Stack Overflow), but it looks like VLAs are *not* supported. Sigh. So I guess I'll change it up. Should I go with alloca, or does Pike have its own preferred way to do this?
