Actually, it appears to be easier than that - I discovered, whilst
prowling around the VC++ 6 GUI, that there's a project type called, I
think, a "Makefile" project; this appears to be a "don't get clever,
just run 'nmake'" project.

I set up Ethereal as such a project, and pointed it at the
"Makefile.nmake" file, and I can do a "cvs update" (via anonymous CVS -
try though I might, I was unable to bludgeon WinCVS into logging in to
"pow.zing.org" as me, even though I got it working on all three
UNIX-flavored OSes on my machine), pop up VC++, and select "Build
ethereal.exe", and it'll rebuild it, even if new source files showed up.
