RE: Towards a more stable VM

Hey all.

I just recently (re)fetched the source from SVN and attempted to build.
After some wrestling with VS 2005, I get the three exe's in the Strongtalk
directory, but when I run, it throws an AccessViolation somewhere deep in
the native code, and no amount of wrestling, tweaking, or adjusting can get
me past that point. Has anyone...
(a) done a complete rebuild from SVN, just to make sure that it's all in a
good state right now, and
(b) got a few minutes to help me figure out just what the hell's going on
with my build?

FWIW, by the way, the SVN revision reports at 162. But in that revision, I
don't see any VS 2008-related bits--everything still says VS 2005. Did the
SVN repo move someplace? Am I grabbing stale bits?
