OK, I got quite a ways into the firefox build.  Here are the new bugs
so far (and one old one):
15359  cmd's "for" command doesn't handle /F. Breaks msysgit, firefox build.
19778  cmd set "FOO=bar" does the wrong thing; breaks firefox build script
19779  Visual C++ 2005 Express: cl.exe can't find mspdb80.dll
19780  MSVC 8 Express's mt.exe doesn't run properly under cygwin bash;
breaks firefox build
19781  Visual C++ 2005 Express: -Zi option doesn't work; breaks
Firefox build's configure script
19783  Visual C++ 2005 Express: building Firefox: mt.exe crashes while
linking mkdepend
19784  cmd doesn't handle ( ) scoping; breaks firefox build

Bug 19783 is kind of stopping me from getting further; the others all had
easy kludgy workarounds.  If somebody could take a look at that one
(it's a resource manipulation thing in kernel32), I'd appreciate it.
