When you install MS Visual C/C++, the installation program can
sets some environment variables so that you can run "cl" from the
command-line. If you choose not to set these environment variables,
then you have to run the vcvars32.bat script that MSVC creates
in order to set those environment variables in your current shell so
that you can run "cl" from the command line.
