Hi,
I am currently posting this with Mozilla's WIN-GMAKE build 0.9.9+ :-)
Did you all realize that there is now a (IMO) better way to compile and link than using microsoft's nmake, namely using gmake (GNU make) instead?
You do NOT need these extra software anymore: WinCVS, ActivePerl, Info-ZIP. Just install the Cygwin environment, which is a must-have anyway if you are a developer on windows and don't want to limit yourself on microsoft based applications.

cheers,
