I believe that's all there is to the build process (you can, of course,
specify other arguments/options to Configure if desired); the trick is in
making sure that the dependencies and environment are in place. The two
typical stubmling blocks are getting a functional perl available in the
PATH, and making sure to find the right Visual Studio Developer Tools
Command Prompt (or whatever it's called on your version of visual studio).
