Right. The code is meant to compile under other windows compilers, but we 
don't have the resources to give full support for all of them, so we chose to 
support the main/most popular one.

Should definately be in the SDK directory.

This is probably a missing export from the vorbis.def file - that file has to 
list all the symbols that are exported from the library. Changes will 
probably also be needed to vorbisfile.def and maybe ogg.def. This sort of 
thing is precisely why we need someone with the tools and some knowledge of 
windows programming to do the SDK stuff - all of this sort of thing is 
win32-specific.

No. The whole point of this is to update the SDK ready for the next release.

They shouldn't get automatically installed anywhere outside the SDK directory.
