Hi again, Some more feedback.
1.Trying to use MSVC2010 (or later I suppose) to build the project using the new method outlined in your link, I noticed that 'vcbuild' has been removed after vc2008. They recommend using msbuild, whatever that is, which requires different cli parameters and also requires that the project be converted accordingly. You may want to note this for future reference. I haven't been able to compile, currently trying to find a VC2008 installation to try again. 2.Sometimes the script fails to download the parts that are hosted on github, I suspect because github emits a 302.
