I can't remember if I said this or not, but right now third_party.py isn't
portable. It makes several calls to the system that are not functional on
linux or mac. Right now, all of the commands (including those that use the
"&&" operator) are tailored for windows only.

The && command in DOS means the left command must succeed (return non-zero)
before the right command is executed. For example:

call MyBatch1.bat && call MyBatch2.bat

If MyBatch1.bat fails, then MyBatch2.bat is not called. If it succeeds, then
both batch files will be executed. I use the && operator mainly because I
need to retain the environment between various commands. For example, when I
call the vsvars32.bat batch file, it sets up the environment in a certain
way. I have to call vsvars32.bat, then use &&, and then execute nmake after
it so that nmake has access to that environment setup by vsvars32.bat.

Anyway, I still can't seem to figure out why the symbols are not being
resolved. Basically, I checked aprutil-1.lib to see if those symbols indeed
do exist in the library and they do. However, MSVC complains that it cannot
find them. This can't be a dllimport/export issue since I'm using static
libraries for everything.
