Okay, that's extremely helpful.  With that (and installing nasmw.exe), a 
trunk checkout builds correctly and passes all tests (although skipping 
test_tcl) on my box.  As I said, it's XP x86 with 2008 Express Edition only.

Let me know if I can provide any other information.  Unfortunately I 
don't have access to this box during the work day (EDT), and I'm leaving 
for vacation tomorrow (Friday).  But I'll help as best I can.
