I just found out about VC++ Express about a month ago in the while browsing
through Sara Goleman's new book with Amazon's Viewer -- was able to see the
Windows compile instructions. :-)  I discovered there are a few things
missing from those instructions, however, after many errors which I was able
to fix or work around, luckily.

Do you know anything about what to do?  Or you'd just be starting from
scratch like I was?  I'd be glad to try and answer any questions you have -- 
from what to download first all the way through to your own binary. :-)
BTW, I've only compiled the bare CLI version so far; so only built-in
extensions, no server APIs, etc.

Because my VC++ Express install is missing this one file (I've yet to look
into why), I have to make small changes in a couple of PHP's files (simple
now that I got used to it :-)) for it to compile.  With PHP 6, you also have
to download ICU Unicode headers/libraries.  AND, I've only downloaded one
CVS snapshot of 6's source so far, but it has a fatal error when trying to
compile -- I got around that by modifying a couple of the VC++ header
files(?!?!), which results in tons and tons of warnings, but the build seems
to work fine -- though I'm only really using the functions whose source I'm
playing with. :-)

I was going to put something online about my Windows compiling experiences,
but haven't gotten to it yet.  Anyway, feel free to ask, and I'll try to
answer ASAP!

Hope that helps,
