Assignment 1: Building the Fox

Initial Setup
For the preparation for the build, I first read the [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Build_Documentation Mozilla Development Center Build Documentation], but quickly ran out of patience. Then I found another [http://pryan.org/firefox/TierMann/page/building/index.html website] that offers a more compressed set of instructions.
*First, I downloaded and installed [http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.exe Cygwin], following the instruction [http://pryan.org/firefox/TierMann/page/building/packages.html here]. There is an extra step involved in getting '''make 3.80''' detailed at the Problems section.
*I already have Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed, so I didn't install any SDK suggested by the site.
*I downloaded [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/source/wintools.zip Moztools], and unpacked it as instructed.
