[webkit-dev] problem compiling Torchmobile code

[George Staikos]

That's just cmd syntax.  Running that project through MSVS works just  
fine for us.

One thing we haven't documented yet is that you need to set the  
environment variable WebKitOutputDir, and make sure perl and gnuwin32  
are in your path.  I have also found that some other SDKs interfere  
with the build causing it to fail.  Once I backed out all dev tools  
not related to building this code it worked fine.  I'm not sure what  
was to blame, but my guess is something had installed alternative  
tools with the same names (such as another perl).

Once our code moves into a public repository - hopefully Monday or  
Tuesday - we will be able to give better instructions for building  
the code.
