Need Windows validation queue

Goal 1 is to have an "advisory" Windows queue, which at least builds (and later tests) all checkins on Windows. For round 1, this will be run in parallel to the existing Linux queue, and will only report on its success or failure - it will not be tied into the "main" queue, and so it will not be able to prevent checkins from succeeding.

As discussed, Rodolfo will provide:

1. A .zip file or other simple download of all third-party dependencies (hopefully not more than 500 megs).
2. A .bat file which will build Zorba unattended. This script should take exactly two arguments: the path to Zorba source, and the path to the unpacked third-party .zip file.
3. A document which describes how the .zip file was created - what sources were downloaded, how they were compiled (including any special build flags), etc.

Something it would be nice to have soon after that:

4. Another .bat script which runs all tests unattended. This script should take exactly one argument: the path to the Zorba build directory.

As of today, (1) and (2) are believed done.

Specification for (2)
build.bat [/branch <branch>] directory dependencies-dir
"directory" is always the path to compile. "dependencies-dir" is the path to the unzipped dependencies.
if "/branch <branch>" is specified, it will check out the named branch from bzr into "directory" before building.
if /branch isn't specified, it won't use bzr at all for anything.

This are links to basic libraries to compile

This is the build.bat that is able to get the sources and compile them...
