+Step 0: Map network drive to build tools drive
+  - right click on Network Places, choose Map Network Drive
+  - Map Network Drive V: to \\dimbo\panda

   - On WinNT, you will be prompted to register environment variables for
     running the compiler from the command line - do it.

+    This should prepend the Platform SDK paths to your PATH,INCLUDE, and
+    LIB dirs.  Building libpandadx requires this step (needs DX7 headers/libs)
