OK, I'm thinking that the best way might be to do away with buildenv.bat
altogether and replace the remaining references to it in .bat files with
something like this fragment:
if not exist src\tools\msvc\buildenv.pl goto nobuildenv
perl -e "require 'src/tools/msvc/buildenv.pl'; while(($k,$v) = each
%ENV) { print qq[\@SET $k=$v\n]; }" > tmp.bat
call tmp.bat
del tmp.bat
:nobuildenv
and adjust the docs accordingly.
Thoughts?
