Todd,

If you don't need to build everything yourself, I would suggest just
using the OpenEV_FW release for this task.

   http://gdal.org/dl/openev/OpenEV_FW_182.zip

It includes everything built nicely together, including the Python numeric
package which would be needed for gdal_merge.py to work (as noted by another
user).  On Windows when building GDAL you need to explitely set the PYDIR
in nmake.opt to get python support working.  I think there are some additional
complications related to the numeric support.  This is within your ability to
handle, but unless you need to build things yourself for some reason I would
suggest you avoid it.

Best regards,
