Way back when, I put comments in makefile.vc about using Echo. (note the period).
Those comments applied to the makefile (or perhaps nmake), but in any case does not apply to batch files. Please don't use 'echo. some text' in a batch file - the command processor then goes in search of "echo.." in the path for every statement in the batch file and since this is not found, it eventually displays the text anyway, but you can see this speed hit. The only time you want to use 'Echo.' (no spaces) in a batch file is to display a blank line.
