[edit] Tools for Building Blender
No changes from current toolset. See the blender.org website. Also has a cheat sheet. For windows, install Visual studio, python, and subversion (Tortoise is a great svn client). If you install VS Express, you might need the Windows SDK (v6.1 or so) Two build systems, cmake and scons, will be supported.
