That's a nice tip.

But do you know anything about the compilation flags? With /Zi the
compiler failed to build the program database and the compilation
stopped. One could restart it once, or twice, and it would eventually
succeed. I wonder what is wrong, or whether one is not expected to use
VS2005 from the command line. I have seen the same bug reported by
other projects using the free edition.
