I was able to find the IBLDENV.EXE file at
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/bldenv.htm

I have also found some newer patches to this SDK.
    http://people.montana.com/~bowman/Software/rsxntdj.htm

                                and

     http://webhome.idirect.com/~eschunk/mssdk/rsxpatch.zip

The second one is a larger file (seems to patch more of the headers from the
SDK).  A question I have is: Are the headers that are in the
%RSXNTDJ%\include\win32 directory still needed?  Does the patch add the
needed content from the Win32 headers to the SDK headers or will doing an
include statement include both headers of the same name?

Also do I need the SDK libraries as well?  If so, do I need to rename them
to the GNU library format ( libxxxxx.a )?  The OBJDUMP program states that
they are in the COFF- go32 format.  This is a compatible format is it not?

Thirdly, how much of the SDK do I actually need for creating Win32 progrmas
and DirectX/OpenGL programs?
