Doesn't installation descriptions like the one in the wiki (

I don't know why Gor felt compelled to make those changes - I don't see
why all of them are necessary.
I agree most of it isn't necessary. I guess it's partly a problem of
lacking documentation, but also caused by the "magic" library path
settings in link.c, that probably only work with VS2010. It does not
work with VS2012 (includes Windows 8 SDK) and probably not with the
Windows 7 SDK (includes binaries from VS2008).
My suggestion is trying to make it work out of the box for most
installations while removing version specific code from the compiler itself.
