Re: Improve speed of windows environment

Yep :

    def _create_env32(self, pkgroot):
        """Creates and returns the windows 32-bit environment"""
        SCons.Defaults.DefaultEnvironment(tools=[])
        sconsEnv = SCons.Environment.Environment(MSVC_VERSION = '10.0',
TARGET_ARCH = 'x86', tools=['msvc','mslink','mslib'])
        variables = EnvironmentVariablesVoiceWin32(pkgroot)
        return self.create_environment('win32', sconsEnv, variables)
