[Develop] building a windows build environment

Rrrr....  I'm trying to build a Windows build environment for the 
Democracy-Player-1.0 branch version of Miro.  I'm having a hell of a 
time getting it to work (again).

PyRex version 0.9.5.1a is no longer available at the link we've got in 
the build docs.  However, if you go to the site and get 0.9.5.1.1 and 
untar that, it's a 0.9.5.1a directory so I think it's the same thing. 
This could be the source of my build problems.  Other than that, I've 
got all the versions of things that are specified and I have them all 
installed.

So I run "vcvars32.bat" which pulls in the various environment variables 
required.

Then I run "python setup.py bdist_xul_dumb" and it proceeds to compile 
things.

Then the compilation hits fasttypes.cpp and spits out over 300 lines of 
errors with boost files and then dies.  It's a pain in the ass to copy 
and paste them here, but I can if someone thinks they're worthwhile to 
look at.

The good news is this is the first thing it attempts to compile, so it 
dies at the very beginning which indicates to me that I'm either missing 
something important or I've got an environment problem.

Any ideas as to what's wrong?
