Well, it's good that you guys are almost as confused as I am. :)

Evidently, VC Express 2008 is good by itself, without the separate SDK
download.

The documentation also appears to imply that the SDK without VC Express
would be enough. I can't quite fathom how that would work, because the
vcbuild.exe is supplied by VC Express. Then again, the SDK installation
offers to install a C++ compiler, but I don't know where it put that.
