Unfortunately there is no inline help :-( I'll think about doing some a bit
later.

This should have worked :-( And I guess that you have MSVC6 as your
compiler.

No. Doing...

vcvars32.bat
.\build.bat msvc

Is supposed to work, but from looking at my code, I can see why it doesn't
:-( -- I'll see about fixing this part.

Could you give me more info about your setup. Like locations of things? Is
it a standard install location? Is it on another drive, other than C:? Do
you the PlatformSDK installed? And where?
