OK, it sounds like jsc.vcproj is failing but the other projects are 
succeeding. jsc.vcproj produces jsc.exe, which is a JavaScript 
interpreter. Having jsc.exe fail to build doesn't affect whether 
WebKit.dll builds (since WebKit.dll builds first).

Does the BuildLog.htm file for jsc.vcproj mention any errors? You can 
find it at WebKitBuild/obj/jsc/Release/BuildLog.htm.
