+# winrt-build.ps1 -- A Powershell script to build all SDL/WinRT variants,
+#    across all WinRT platforms, in all of their supported, CPU architectures.
+#
+# Initial version written by David Ludwig <dludwig@pobox.com>
+#
+# This script can be launched from Windows Explorer by double-clicking
+# on winrt-build.bat
+#
+# Output will be placed in the following subdirectories of the SDL source
+# tree:
+#   * VisualC-WinRT\lib\  -- final .dll, .lib, and .pdb files
+#   * VisualC-WinRT\obj\  -- intermediate build files
+#
+# Recommended Dependencies:
+#   * Windows 8.1 or higher
+#   * Powershell 4.0 or higher (included as part of Windows 8.1)
+#   * Visual C++ 2012, for building Windows 8.0 and Windows Phone 8.0 binaries.
+#   * Visual C++ 2013, for building Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 binaries
+#   * SDKs for Windows 8.0, Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.0, and
+#     Windows Phone 8.1, as needed
+#
+# Commom parameters/variables may include, but aren't strictly limited to:
+#   * PlatformToolset: the name of one of Visual Studio's build platforms.
+#     Different PlatformToolsets output different binaries.  One
+#     PlatformToolset exists for each WinRT platform.  Possible values
+#     may include:
+#       - "v110": Visual Studio 2012 build tools, plus the Windows 8.0 SDK
+#       - "v110_wp80": Visual Studio 2012 build tools, plus the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK
+#       - "v120": Visual Studio 2013 build tools, plus the Windows 8.1 SDK
+#       - "v120_wp81": Visual Studio 2013 build tools, plus the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK
+#   * VSProjectPath: the full path to a Visual Studio or Visual C++ project file
+#   * VSProjectName: the internal name of a Visual Studio or Visual C++ project
+#     file.  Some of Visual Studio's own build tools use this name when
+#     calculating paths for build-output.
+#   * Platform: a Visual Studio platform name, which often maps to a CPU
+#     CPU architecture.  Possible values may include: "Win32" (for 32-bit x86),
+#     "ARM", or "x64" (for 64-bit x86).
