Hi Carl!

Thanks for helping. May I ask questions?

Sorry, but I will not connect Windows to the Internet. It's not safe. So, if building on a Windows 
box implies doing a 'git sync' implies connecting Windows to the Internet, it's a non-starter.

On the other hand, that may not be what you mean? Can you comment/clarify? I've never done this 
stuff before.

Thanks.

What is being configured by the 'config string' above? ...I suppose it will become clearer down the 
path I'm trodding, but in the mean time, I'm stuck.
