Well, maybe you can revisit Windows later on if you're able to overcome the SDK
installation problems.

You might also want to take a look at doc/README.plugins.  I'm not sure if the
developer guide and that file are perfectly synchronized, so you might find
additional helpful information there as well.

I believe the first time you will need to recompile everything so all the
Makefiles, etc. are created, so re-run autogen.sh, configure and make.  Once
you've done that once, you shouldn't need to do it again - just make if you need
to recompile anything.
