CREATED RELEASE: Initial Release (May 01, 2008)

This release works to build the SSCLI20 and run the tests.

It is almost a complete replay of [url:Jeremy Kuhne's SSCLI20 build instructions|http://blogs.msdn.com/jeremykuhne/archive/2008/02/19/sscli-2-0-and-visual-studio-2008.aspx], with the following modifications:

* In the modified _win.env.bat_ file, I added *@set PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86* to line 106 to get it to build under AMD64. The build environment was X86 already, but apparently it wasn't enough.
* On line 144 of the modified _tools\nmake\def.mak_ file, comment out *#CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -Wp64*, since the flag is deprecated.
* This one didn't seem right, but it was the most expedient: comment out lines 73 to 79 in _pal\exception.c_, which is the declaration of a function *RtlUnwind* which is apparently never used or defined. It could be some platform specific call, which works on a Windows machine.

The SSCLI 2.0 was released in March 2006, and the build scripts relied on VS 2005 to work.

With VS 2008, a number of things have changed, and SSCLI 2.0 doesn't build with it.

I was undertaking the needed mods to the build scripts when I got lazy and decided to see if someone else did it already. Jeremy Kuhne was just this someone. He published the details of getting VS 2008 to build SSCLI on his blog.

I followed these meticulous instructions and made a few other changes and was able to get SSCLI to build and pass all the tests that could run on my machine.

Perhaps this diff will save you a few minutes of typing.
