Changes to make Rotor build on latest OS versions

I have started project at http://servicing.sscli.net to cumulate changes
for building Rotor on latest OS version. I have used Eric Albert's
Panther patch and Andrew Gray's FreeBSD 5.1 patch as starting points,
and added a bunch of new fixes. So far this project contains fixes to
make SSCLI 1.0 build on the following OS versions:

- Windows XP SP2
- Windows Server 2003
- Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)
- FreeBSD 5.2

All OS versions supported by the original SSCLI 1.0 should work as well.

I would like to point out a small change in rotorenv\bin\makefile.def
necessary to build on WinXP SP2 + VS 2003. Many people are likely going
to look for this change once WinXP SP2 RTM is released. The colored diff
of the delta is at
http://servicing.sscli.net/source/browse/servicing/sscli/rotorenv/bin/ma
kefile.def?r1=1.1&r2=1.2 . The textual diff is at the end of this
message.

I have successfully build fastchecked and run short BVTs
(sscli\tests\bvt\short) to test these changes. I have not done any
extensive testing beyond that. Please open bugs using
http://servicing.sscli.net/servlets/ProjectIssues on any issues that you
encounter with these changes. (You can also fix them while you are on it
:-).)

For convenience, I have created patch that can be applied to the
original sscli to get all current changes in this project at
http://servicing.sscli.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=0 .
Apply the patch by running (from one level above sscli directory):

tar xzf ssclipatch_20040514.diff.tgz
patch < ssclipatch_20040514.diff
cd sscli
. ./env.sh
./buildall -c
