Thanks Adam, I am actually going to start with this particular script (yes, you had shared it before).
This might be a good time to ask some Windows Specific build questions: "Visual Studio". I'm brand new to open source development. And since I've lived in a MS world at work, I made the automatic "Windows = Visual Studio". I'd like to ask up-front for any advice. Is the expectation for build(s) to be vendor neutral and/or would it be helpful if the build was specific for VS and maybe GNU (assuming there is a windows version)? "nmake vs. cmake". I read some threads that talked about moving to cmake? Is this something that would be desirable? Anyone have any comments about this?
