I don't agree with placing that first hunk before the para that tells
people to use a binary distribution, as it's completely irrelevant
if they take that advice.  I'm not really sure we need it at all,
because quite a bit of the text right after that is not specific to using
the src/tools/msvc scripts either.  I think the <warning> under "Building
with <productname>Visual C++</productname> ..." is sufficient.

The other two changes look fine.
