Hi, Ard & Laszlo

Sorry for not giving feedback in time. Jiaxin has been aware of this and will 
fix it soon.

For this build error, I double check MSDN. Looks like VS only complains those 
unreferenced local variables (that's VS warning C4101). But if this local 
variable gets assigned, then there is no complain even the variable is never 
used.

Not sure if there is a better way to avoid such break in the future besides the 
way of Scott's GCC pre-built toolchain in windows.

Thanks
Feng

Fully unused locals: probably. Assigned-to, but never read ones:
probably not.
