Comment(by johnmaddock):

 Sorry Dave but I disagree.

 Consider an MSVC user that Builds without with currently undocumented
 --build-type=complete flag, they get static and dll libraries built
 against the msvc release runtimes.

 Then they create a new IDE project (debug build by default) and follow
 step 6.1... and get a linker error because the necessary binary does not
 exist.  Same if they follow 6.2.

 IMO it's still broken, just differently than before (but the right fix is
 to change the build process IMO - fixing the getting started guide is a
 stopgap).

 John.
