As you might have seen in the last changset, build-infra now builds on 32bit windows.

So a little further now.

Apparently because my VS2010 is not in the standard place I was required to
go run c:\vs2010\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat, then start my shell

OK .. but VS sets the variable VS100COMNTOOLS so all you had to do was
look for this variable
VS100COMNTOOLS=c:\vs2010\Common7\Tools\

This would be a regression from the current build system which checks 
for this variable.

Anyway I got past that too, however I am stuck again :-

I don't know how disconcerted to be by the warning but how do I fix the 
issue with rt.jar ?

How does it look for rt.jar ? Actually why does it need rt.jar ?
