Needing the ability to build tclkits on Windows from CVS head on a
semi-regular basis, I finally got around to trying Pat Thoyts'
instructions from the starkit mailing list
[http://groups.google.com/group/starkit/browse_thread/thread/ce8d1c347d9674ac]
to build my own kit. Read that reference first.

There were a couple of things that caused me grief having to do with my
environment (Visual Studio 6.0, XP). Hence this page - so others do not go through the same pain.
The issues were:


   * Do not have spaces in any directory paths. nmake spits weird error messages with no hint as to the real problem. This was my mistake #1.
   * You need to install the Platform SDK - I used the 2003 SP1 version which I already had. This is required for theme support as Visual Studio 6.0 does not come with the required include files.
   * Do not run setenv.cmd from the Platform SDK. This was my mistake #2. Instead explicitly set INCLUDE env var from the command line as shown below.
