That's possible.

I ran it with:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC>.\vcvarsall.bat

and the response is:
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.

Within Visual C++ 2005: Tools > Options > Projects & Solutions > VC++ 
Directories > Show Directories For, the Executable Files menu item lists
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin (and 
numerous others)

The Include Files menu item lists
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include 
[the location of windows.h] (and numerous others)

The Library Files menu item lists
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib (and 
numerous others)

Are those correct?

My vcvars32.bat is empty except for the single line:
"%VS80COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"

Invoking .\vcvars32.bat produces the response:
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.

jam's build.bat file still can't find windows.h.
