Impossible.  There's no such variable in the toolset.

1. Make a directory called c:\src\STLPort

2. Decompress STLPort-4.6.1 into that directory, so you have:

   c:\src\STLPort\STLPort-4.6.1
   c:\src\STLPort\STLPort-4.6.1\doc\
   c:\src\STLPort\STLPort-4.6.1\etc\
   c:\src\STLPort\STLPort-4.6.1\lib\
   c:\src\STLPort\STLPort-4.6.1\stlport\
   ...

3. Set STLPORT_PATH to c:\src\STLPort

4. Set STLPORT_VERSION to 4.6.1
