+:: This script is called devel.bat NOT setup.bat, because firstly, it is for compiling GS2
+:: and secondly, this script wipes out PATH and sets it from scratch. Running the toplevel GS2 setup.bat
+:: will invoke any setup.bat in this local folder, and if this script were called setup.bat it would wipe
+:: out the Greenstone PATH environment as adjusted by GS2 so we'd not be able to run any Greenstone scripts
+:: despite sourcing GS2's toplevel setup.bat. Hence this script is called devel.bat.

 :: Get the strawberry perl we use for GS from http://trac.greenstone.org/browser/main/trunk/release-kits/shared/windows/perl.zip?rev=head
 :: this is referred to below as strawberry-perl32no64

+:: NOTE: we are indeed wiping out PATH and setting it from scratch. This follows what the releasekits do each night when generating GS2-caveat
+:: and that always seems to successfully compile apache-httpd in one go. So after setting PATH from scratch here, we only need to worry about
+:: race conditions affecting GS2 compiling (particularly apache-httpd) on recompile of GS2. In that case, just delete gs2-svn\apache-httpd\windows\error
+:: and retry recompilation with makegs2x64.bat, or just plain retry recompilation with that script.
