My script:

@echo off
d:
cd \repo\fpc
make clean all install UPXPROG=echo COPYTREE=echo OPT="-gl -CX -XXs -O-"
INSTALL_PREFIX=d:\pp11  > d:\repo\buildlog.txt

Vista specific mod:

@echo off
d:
cd \repo\fpc
make clean all install UPXPROG=echo COPYTREE=echo OPT="-gl -CX -XXs -O-"
INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\fpc GINSTALL=vistin.exe > d:\repo\buildlog64.txt


Some explanations:

UPXPROG=echo   -> makes upxing a non-op. It is not needed in general with
terabyte HDs on sale. 

COPYTREE=echo  -> during install some example trees are recursively copied.
this fails on SVN dirs. This omits those copies at the expense of no
installed examples (you can still do that once in a while by exporting the
source first, since the problem is in the SVN dirs).

INSTALL_PREFIX=d:\somedir  -> directory where to put snapshot

GINSTALL=vistin.exe  -> vistin is "ginstall.exe" copied to vistin.exe. This
because Vista wants to UAC anything that is named "install" or "setup",
which doesn't work for console apps.

The OPT= stuff is not fixed, but changes depending on my needs.
