Hi Rob,
Thanks, that was what I was thinking exactly. Shouldn't be to hard I quess :)
But my other question remains unanswered... How to compile the source
correctly? Can I compile the latest sourse on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit machine
using VS2012? I also installed the Windows 7 and .NET framework 4.0 SDK, but I
still have issues getting the vanilla source compiled.
Any tips anyone? Should it work with my setup, of should I change/add anything?
Thanks for the help!
Sander

Take a look at the candle and light code. They'll show you exactly how you can
do it. Note: that is not a public API so it can change at any time. You'll have
to keep up.
