<s>'''While I wait for the ref platform install...'''</s> Turns out that the "Debugging Tools for Windows" was already on the ref platform. That's great news! So I've filed a bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424240 #424240] to add a line to [http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/tools/tinderbox-configs/firefox/win32/tinder-config.pl tinder-config.pl] adding  <code>$ENV{PDBSTR_PATH} = 'C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows\sdk\srcsrv\pdbstr.exe';</code> If the patch is committable, I hope that there will be a testing version in the near future.
I've created a page on MDC where I will begin to document the steps for using the Source Server builds. [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_the_Mozilla_source_server Using the Mozilla Source Server]
What's needed:
* <s> Windbg needs to be installed on the ref platform - bhearsum is helping me look into getting this done. I will monitor the progress of the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419904 bug 419904] which makes the request for install.</s> Bug was marked "RESOLVED" since the tools were already installed.* <s>Nightly builds need to be flagged for indexing so I can download them and test that the source server works as it should</s> Patch submitted, now waiting for commit.
I anticipate that there will be tweaks needed for the cvs and the file repository on the user's computer to work as desired.
