If you are talking about the BIND 8 builds, I believe that there are .mak files
for most of the pieces and you can just run those directly even using VS.Net.
It's certainly true of BIND 9. Do you need to build your own instead of using
the binaries available from ISC? win32tools is just a subset of the full BIND 8
build. BIND 9 binaries comes with all of the tools that are available on Unix.
We never bothered creating a subset of the kit with just the tools.
