compiling xfddx

["Bernd Oliver Christiansen" <bernd at cs dot ucsb dot edu>]

All:

I finally managed to compile xfddx_3.  I changed typedef PULONG ULONG_PTR;
to typedef /*P*/ULONG ULONG_PTR;.  Furthermore, I had to manually create the
directory .\lib\i386\free.  xfddx.dll is now built cleanly.

A couple of notes on the DDK:
(i) install the SDK, DDK, and VC in paths which do not contain spaces to
avoid build's database being corrupted
(ii) read http://www.numega.com/drivercentral/tech_tips/lastline.shtml
(iii) on NT4, setenv.bat in the SDK directory should put Bin\WinNT\NT4 in
path ahead of NT5 tools that don't run on NT4.  I had to add two spaces at
the end of IF "%%i"=="Windows NT Version 4.0 to make this work:

REM Patch path to put Bin\WinNT\NT4 in path ahead of NT5 tools that don't
run on NT4
For /F "delims=;" %%i IN ('Cmd /c Ver') DO (
    IF "%%i"=="Windows NT Version 4.0  " (
        Set Path=%MSSdk%\Bin\WinNT\NT4;%Path%
        Goto Chk_SetEnv
        )
    )

Note that neither Peter nor Suhaib were able to reproduce my problem.  On
the other hand, I re-installed the SDK, VC6 with SP3, MSDN, and DDK.  Thus,
my build environment shouldn't be damaged.
