Hello Rob,

I am building 5.2.0-beta2 now on windows, so I can maybe help.   When  
you check out a fresh svn copy of nmake.opt, you will have to go  
through it and change many of the settings to fit the buildkit (not  
just MS_BASE).  After doing that the best thing to do is to do a diff  
between the 5.0.2 nmake.opt and your new nmake.opt to make sure you  
haven't missed something (textpad is a nice tool to use for this, and  
u can eval forever).

In other words: follow the settings in the old 5.0.2 nmake.opt.
