NB. This should be done EVERY time you open a new command prompt for
ethereal dev work. vcvars32 only affects the environment vars for the
current command prompt. You can of course make the changes permanent by
updating the environment vars in the Advanced tab of the System Properties
dialog (Windows key + Break).

Personally I have never needed to do this. See note above.
