+If you wish to use Visual Studio 2008, a couple things need to be tweaked,
+namely the fact that some of the SDK stuff is installed in (by default)
+C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\v6.0A . Just ensure that that
+C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\v6.0A\Lib is in LIB and
+C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\v6.0A\Include is in INCLUDE. A symptom of not
+doing this is errors about finding kernel32.lib and windows.h.
+
+Additionally, if you encounter errors about mc.exe not being found, you must
+install the entire Windows SDK (the partial SDK included in visual studio
+apparently does not include it). After installing it you'll want to add
+something like: /c/cygdrive/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ SDKs/v7.0/bin to your
+PATH to allow the environment to find mc.exe. The next Visual Studio (2010) is
+expected to include this tool.
