Is this VS8 Express edition or a full commercial edition? Nobody has
gotten VS8 Express yet to work. Someone needs to run Chicken under a
debugger to figure this out. I'm still too lazy, as VS8 Express isn't
that important to me. I'm hoping one of the people actually trying to
get VS8 Express to work, wants to take that chore on.

How is the CMake MSYS working? That should work just fine, it's my
primary development environment.
