[sldev] Expunging MS compiler config? (Re: ... builds won't compile)

For whatever reason my computer is screwed up beyond compilability.
This error keeps happening over and over for each compile attempt for
any of the release candidates. It cannot find "llaudio.lib" which
makes no sense to me because this library should be a part of the
source zipfiles in each RC.

Since I don't know what went wrong, I'm going to have to go for a
fresh start, and I'd like to know what else I might need to do to
clean out the system before reinstalling. Here is what I've done so
far:

Remove python
Remove CMake
Remove DirectX SDK (June 2008)
Remove studio .net 2003
Remove Visual J# redist pack 1.1
Remove Visual C++ 2005 redist
Remove 2005 Express Edition
Remove MSDN Library for NET 2003
Remove MS Platform SDK R2


Registry cleanout:

Remove HKCU\Software\Microsoft\
 - MSDN
 - VCExpress
 - VisualStudio
 - VSA
 - VSCommon

Remove HKLM\Software\Microsoft\
 - MSDN
 - VisualStudio
 - VSA
 - VSTA
 - VSTAHost
 - VSTAHostConfig
 - VSWCU

I had both VS 2005 Express and VS 2003 Standard installed at the same
time. I don't know if they can conflict with each other..
