This might be only for me but I was confused by configure output.

Without setting for mspdb path, configure stopped. With correct
--with-mspdb-path, it passed with message,
'checking the Microsoft C/C++ Compiler... checking for mspdb71.dll... no
found (/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/MICROS~2.NET/Vc7/bin/cl.exe)'
.
Without setting for csc path, configure stopped. With correct
--with-csc-path, it passed with message,
'checking for csc.exe... no'
.
Without setting for nsis path, there was a warning at the end of
output. With correct --with-nsis-path, it passed with message,
'checking for NSIS... checking for nsis.exe... no
found (/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/NSIS)'
.
However, configure did not stopped without midl setting. And I tried both
  --with-midl-path="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003/Common7/Tools/bin" and
  --with-midl-path="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003/Common7/Tools"
but still I got a message, 'checking for midl.exe... no'. Thus I could
not confirm midl path was correctly set.

And --with-cl-home was little bit tricky because I had to set
"/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7"
instead of "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003/Vc7/bin" which has cl.exe.

For now, I am going to stick with PATH variable method which gives me
more comfortable output. :-)
