[webkit-dev] loading webkit Visual Studio 2005 project file error

[Jack Wootton]

Mital Vora pointed me to the solution.  I needed to set the environment variable

WEBKITLIBRARIESDIR

to point to the correct location which included the win directory, so
for this was:

C:\cygwin\home\Jack Wootton\WebKit\WebKitLibraries\win

Many thanks,
Jack
