Use "Release" config (faster than "ReleaseWithoutAsm", 3 seconds vs 5 seconds for "Engine.pak" compression)
Zlib requires however downloading precompiled *.obj files

those from masmx86 need to be recompiled manually using the bld_ml32.bat with /safeseh option added:
"D:\Prog\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005\VC\bin\ml" /coff /Zi /c /Flmatch686.lst /safeseh match686.asm
"D:\Prog\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005\VC\bin\ml" /coff /Zi /c /Flinffas32.lst /safeseh inffas32.asm

You need to have Visual Studio 2005 Express
