"Add Remove Programs" lists it as "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Professional Edition - ENU"

Yes, I did. :)

It's trivial to fix by changing HHC_LIBS as quoted lower down.

Anders also observed it didn't build. If you did "nmake -k ..." it might
build later on, and then rerunning nmake might work.

It's Studio. Not Express.

I'd just like to be able to build a clean source tree. I had less
trouble with MSVC2003 Professional.
