You're missing a couple of points here.  First, the MS Visual whatever
compiler can also be used with a makefile-driven build system.  Second,
the port as it stands isn't really compatible with anything except Jan's
build instructions.  There's a lot of work to be done before we get
anything that builds out of the box in the 7.4 branch, and it's going to
be a lot easier if we do it using the build system we already have and
know.

Thanks Peter. Really didn't know that MS Visual <things> could work with makefile driven build systems, nor that the PeerDirect build process was so... unique. :)

Regards and best wishes,
