Err, you propably didn't notice why I'm asking this. There are build
instructions for W32-tcsh for 2.0.x (and hidden also for W32-4nt) and also
for 1.x for 4nt/tcsh. The wikipage you mention below is near worthless
for Windows builders. So I'd like to bring the the
 <http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html>
instructions to a usable state for OOo 2.0.4 and then forget about
them.

The changed/new OOo 2.x build instructions should go on a website
that is also usable for windows builders. (The current wiki page doesn't take
the many specialties of windows builds into account.) I'll try what I can do.

It's a start, but a lot has to be done ...
