If trying to compile the code (Windows XP, SDK v6.1) and you get the following types of errors:

Stop.

You can alter the Makefile and add the following switch to CFLAGS:

/D _WIN32_WINNT

>> Compiling using Visual Studio .NET will create binaries dependent of msvcp71.dll

Only if you compile with the wrong runtime library.

If you are getting the following error message:
Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".js"
with Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt or similar, try to add "/e:jscript" to the command line.

Something like:
cscript /nologo /e:jscript win32/build/buildconf.js

It worked for me, I hope it helps.
