Yes, I had done that in some of the batch files, but not all, thanks for catching that.
Now it is done.

I use Cygwin (provides a real bash shell instead of "cmd" on windows) so that's  
the sleep I was using.  I implemented a windows-script-host version which should work
on all windows platforms except win95. (the script host can be downloaded separately
from microsoft, in that case)

The whole point of these scripts is to automate the process so that a person
not that familiar with the IDE can do a complete build without ever going into the GUI 
of msdev.  I thought it would be enough to merely install the macro in the macros 
directory -- but you're correct that it must then also be enabled.  To that end,
I created a script (enableOggMacro.js) which automates that procedure as well, 
and added it to the "mfmacro.bat" script.

Since the SDKHOME home is totally dependent on where the sdk is relocated
in a particular environment, it is left unset.  The requirement to set it is documented
in sdk/build/README.examples

Thanks,
