It could be related to that. Even though I have the SDK installed, I
recall I had problems where I had to make the VC98 version come before
it in my LIB path to do a clean build. I just tried commenting that
out, so that the SDK path comes first. I still get an error, but now
it is a new error:

So I suspect that the VC98 SDK includes the crypt32.lib but has an
older version without those symbols in it. I will try to Google
around about this latest problem with uuid.lib.
