We should also provide an option that will allow the user to specify
where msvcr71.dll can be found. Some environment variable would do the
trick.

I have the MSVC tools available to compile with, but do not have a
standard install of the full IDE etc.. on my machine. This is done so
that I can use different versions of MSVC on the same machine.


%WINNT%\System32 is a standard path for any installation.
If you have different versions of MSVC you will have different name for the
library: msvcr71.dll.
Don't you have this lib in %WINNT%\System32 folder with MSVS installed?

it's not an unreasonable request - hey, ronald - how about a patch? :)

and please, could you make it a settable property in the build.xml file, rather than an environment variable? It makes it easier for configuration management...
