Not to worry.  I am ignorant too.

Some people still build GraphicsMagick with Visual C++ 6.0 (1998 
vintage!) since the built binaries run on the most systems.  It is 
always risky using a newer system to build applications for older 
systems.  I am not sure what all the implications are, but it is 
likely that newer DLLs are required which are not present on older 
systems.

The release builds for the next GraphicsMagick release might use the 
"uninstalled" configuration.  I will have to test to see if there are 
any risks from doing that.

I have not yet seen a Windows 7 system, or Windows Vista either.
