+==========
+Building the prerequisites
+
+We'll assume to have two 'General Folders' for libraries and includes to store
+most of the prerequisites. (Otherwise each configuration setting for each
+project would need to have each and every 'lib' and 'include' folder added.)
+      C:\projects\_include
+      C:\projects\_lib
+
+We'll now start downloading and compiling/copying the prerequisites into the necessary folders:
+
+
+   1. >=zlib-1.2.3 ( http://www.zlib.net/ )
+
+      Download the zlib source code
+      	zlib123.zip
+      and unpack it into the projects folder to get:
+      	C:\projects\zlib123\
+
+      Open the file zlib.dsw in the folder
+      	C:\projects\zlib123\projects\visualc6\
+      with MSVC and select 'Yes To All' to convert it into a VC9 project.
+
+      Open the properties of the 'zlib' solution and in the
+      'Configuration Properties' select the 'DLL Release'
+      'Configuration'. Select 'OK' and then right-click the 'zlib'
+      project and select 'Build'. After a successful Build, close that
+      instance of MSVC.
+
+
+   2. >=libsdl-1.2.7 ( http://www.libsdl.org )
+
+      Download the development library file for Win32 as well as the
+      source code
+      	SDL-1.2.13.zip
+      	SDL-devel-1.2.13-VC8.zip
+      and unpack them into the projects folder to get:
+      	C:\projects\SDL-1.2.13\
+
+      Copy the 'SDL.dll' and the 'SDL.lib' from the 'lib' folder
+      and the contents of 'include' folder into the corresponding
+      'General Folder' ( ...\_include\ resp. ...\_lib\ ).
+
+      Unpack the 'VisualC.zip' and open the 'SDL.sln' file with MSVC.
+      Follow the instructions to convert the project to VC9.
+
+      Right-click the 'SDLmain' project and select 'Build'. After a
+      successful Build, close that instance of MSVC.
+
+      Copy 'SDLmain.lib' from
+      	C:\projects\SDL-1.2.13\VisualC\SDLmain\Debug
+      into the 'lib' 'General Folder'.
+
+
+   3. >=libboost-1.33.0 ( http://www.boost.org/ )
+
+      Download Boost and unpack it into the folder
+      	C:\projects\
+
+      This should give you a folder structure like
+      	C:\projects\boost_1_38_0\
+
+      Download the pre-built bjam executable
+      	boost-jam-3.1.17-1-ntx86.zip
+      from the bjam download page on sourceforge
+      	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941
+      and unpack and move the bjam executable it into the base folder
+      of boost
+      	C:\projects\boost_1_38_0\
+
+      Now start the command prompt (CMD.exe) and invoke the following
+      commands:
+      	C:\> set ZLIB_SOURCE=C:\projects\zlib123\
+      	C:\> set ZLIB_LIBPATH=C:\projects\zlib123\projects\visualc6\Win32_DLL_Release
+      	C:\> set ZLIB_BINARY=zlib1.dll
+      	C:\> cd C:\projects\boost_1_38_0
+      	C:\projects\boost_1_38_0> bjam ^
+      	More? --toolset=msvc ^
+      	More? --build-type=complete ^
+      	More? --prefix="C:\projects\Boost\" install
+
+      If the upper last command doesn't work, replace the last line with:
+      	--prefix="C:\projects\Boost" install
+
+      Now bjam will compile all variants of the boost library binaries
+      for MSVC 2008 and copies them into the folder
+      	C:\projects\Boost\lib\
+      while all required headers are copied into
+      	C:\projects\Boost\include\boost-1_38\boost
+
+      Use the time bjam is busy compiling (possibly several hours) as
+      you wish. (It is possible to continue downloading and copying
+      the include and lib files since all required compiling is done.)
+
+      Once bjam has finished building/copying, you then can delete
+      the folder
+      	C:\projects\boost_1_38_0\
+      to free up space.
+
+
