[S. Brandt]

Hi!
Thanks for the instructions.
So, I'm not the only one trying to compile the stuff.

Not really necessary.
Works without as well, only a bunch of warning messages.

I don't know why you should need this ... the visual studio command prompt
does not check these settings (afaik), and, in any case, the --with-XXX
statements of configure.vbs should take care of this.

Same here - worked without ...
Ah, maybe ... I installed both SDL-1.2.13-win32 and SDL-devel-1.2.13-VC8, so
configure.vbs found libsdl.
Also, configure.vbs checks for lib/sdl.lib and lib/sdl.dll - maybe I copied
the latter one into the lib dir from the main dir.

Have fun,
