Continuing with Windows Bootstrap, if you have already started an appropriate
Visual Studio command prompt, then you can continue using it. Otherwise, start
the \"x64 Native Tools Command Prompt\" if you are on 64-bit Windows or \"x86
Native Tools Command Prompt\" if you are on 32-bit. Also set the \c{PATH}
environment variable:

\
> set PATH=C:\build2\bin;%PATH%
\

To build with MSVC you can either perform the following steps manually or, if
you are happy with using the defaults, run the \c{build-msvc.bat} batch file.
It performs (and echoes) the same set of steps as outline below but only
allows you to customization the installation directory (run \c{build-msvc.bat
/?} for usage) and you can also specify an alternative package repository with
the \c{BUILD2_REPO} environment variable.

For example, you could run thsi batch file (from the above-mentioned command
prompt) like this:

\
> build-msvc.bat
