That toolchain does not exist or is not used for Windows development, so
the Python script approximates it. I seriously doubt that you problem is
with the script (other than customizing it as I mentioned) but it is
usually with getting all of the required pieces installed correctly so
that you can use the script. I have always found that the INSTALL
document does a good job laying this out.
TortoiseSVN has created NANT build scripts for Subversion if that
interests you at all.
