One additional item. When building an NSIS install package on a Win7 64 bit
system, the NSIS installs to "C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS". In config.nmake,
the makensis.exe files uses "C:\Program Files", thus failing.
I did the following:
Added: PROGRAM_FILES_NSIS=%%ProgramFiles(x86)%%
Changed: MAKENSIS="$(PROGRAM_FILES)\NSIS\makensis.exe"
To: MAKENSIS="$(PROGRAM_FILES_NSIS)\NSIS\makensis.exe"
Worked like a charm. I would guess that there are more elegant solutions to
the problem that would detect the path and make the correct choice. I will
leave that to folks smarter than me.

Thanks for reporting back. I have been intending to redo the build
instructions for a while and this gives me both the confirmation that the
existing instructions really need revision and that the edits that I have in
mind will work. Now all I need is to actually get around to doing the work!
:) Thanks!

Note that the extra options to SetEnv could be important, the default is to
build a debug version (/Debug), targeted at Win7 (/WIN7). Read the first part
of SetEnv to get all the options info.
