Hi Lear,

Thanks for documenting what you found!  Based on the updated
instructions, one point that it looks like you might have missed from my

the SDK?  The "Microsoft Windows Builds" wiki page references the August
2008 version.  Looking at the CMake file will give you a list of the
supported versions;
