<p>OK guys, another question.</p>
<p>What exactly does your build environment look like these days for
win32? I just tried to boot one of my old Windows VMs with
Borland/Inprise/Embarcadero build tools and it is in such a sad
state, I am not even going to attempt to recover that world right
now. I'd rather support your build environments. What are you
using? cygwin? MicrosoftVS? Something else?</p>
