Thank you, Mark. Can you please share a bit what you did to do (at least partial) build? At this time I can't even pass the configuration step (well, I could by changing configure.vbs script, but this is a bit too hacky for me), so your experience in that would be a big help and time saver. Of course if I manage to build it I will share what it takes. I'm not greedy :-)
