Setup Visual Studio 2005 to build Firebird source

Due to I/O redirector problem in GBAK.EXE (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/message/90995), I download Firebird source to attempt compile it under Visual Studio 2005. Here are the steps:

1. Install Visual Studio 2005
2. Read the instruction in firebird source folder: doc/README.build.msvc
3. Install Firebird server
4. Setup these environment variables:
1. FIREBIRD=C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5
2. ISC_USER=SYSDBA
3. ISC_PASSWORD=masterkey
4. LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib
5. PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin
5. Open file "builds\win32\blrtable.BAT", add an include path: -I"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include" to the cl.exe clause
6. Open folder "builds\win32\msvc7", convert 2 solution files: Firebird2.sln and Firebird2Boot.sln to Visual Studio 2005 solution format.
7. Execute cmd.exe, and run Prepare.BAT, make_boot.BAT and make_all.BAT
