The notes are pretty clear that you need the MS tools if you want to build 
the .NET stuff.  I hope there is no other good reason why the MS compiler 
would be essential.  I think it's worth a shot if only to rule out the 
possibility of using other compilers.

Will do.  But don't hold your breath.  I have a day job.
