We're developing with Visual Studio 2012 and to keep our application running on Windows XP we have to use the v110_xp platform toolset.  The problem is that the 2012 geodatabase library doesn't appear to have been compiled with the same toolset so we either have to abandon XP support, or we have build with the Visual Studio 2010 toolset and use the 2010 build of the library.  Could we see a FileGDBAPI.dll built with the 2012_XP toolset ever?
Thanks.

For your XP users, why not stick with the VS2008 or VS2010 version of the API?  Is it really critically important to use VS2012?

We don't really care which build of the GDB library we use; the problem is if we use the 2012 toolset then we have to use the 2012 GDB library, which means our software won't run on XP, unless the library is (someday) rebuilt with the 2012_XP toolset.  That seems easy enough to do, hence my inquiry.  Since Visual Studio 2014 is slated for release I'd rather at least be using the 2012 toolset, rather than the 2010.
