Up until now, I had been avoiding build.exe , instincts tell me that if
I typed the letters B-U-I-L-D and hit the RETURN key, as Microsoft
suggested, I'd be embarking upon yet another journey of a GIANT
*(($)@#*#&!! WASTE OF TIME.

But now, with the changes in where the libraries are located, and that
new stub thing for DriverEntry, I had not choice, so I typed B-U-I-L-D
-CZ at the command prompt, hit the return key, got error from NMAKE (rc
= 2), even thought I DID NOT DO ANYTHING CONTRARY TO WHAT WAS SUGGESTED
DURING THE INSTALLATION OF THE DDK, found work-around in this
newsgroup, tried it, didn't really do anything, tried the build again,
and got 68 *#(*(&$&*(@ errors. Count them 68!!! And I changed
*nothing*. This installation is COMPLETELY VIRGIN!!

Now.

Microsoft!

If any of you engineers who set up this crap are reading this, you
should be ashamed. I know its not for lack of brain power. What is
it? How hard is it to put down the toilet seat? Or up? Or whatever it
is that some people ask for!!!!

Better yet, it's probably not your fault, but your managers' faults. So
I say to the managers of people who are undoubtedly capable of
generating something that goes beyond this cow poo:

No one enjoys wasting countless hour of their existence *&#(&()@#!!
with trivialiaties that have no positive effect on the overall
objective of the effort.

LET YOUR ENGINEERS CLEAN THIS STUFF UP!!!!

Good grief!

(Sorry Max, obviously I'm not mad at you, I'm just so sick of this
sh*t. i can't believe we put up with this.) I hate to think what
would happen if I were paying a contractor $150/hour, and he spent 20
hours working on this crap. I'm sure it happens.
