[sldev] Compiling under VS2005

[Gary Wardell]

I also was wonding about that.

The setup instructions from the wiki for 2005 say to put all of that stuff (perl, cygwin, python) on your system, but I was
wondering why?, since those are usually used as scripting elements on websites.

So, if it's not used in the build, what is it used for and do I really need it for something?
