[webkit-help] Help with building on cygwin + win7 + VC++ Express ?

[Partha R]

A follow-up question:
Which version of VC++ Express & MS-Win Platform SDK are you using?

I too have a Win7 (Home Premium) machine, and would like to setup VC++
Express to build WebKit.
Appreciate the help...

Regards,
~Partha
