Description

Building Cafu fails with Visual C++ 8 (2005) or 9 (2008), because the Microsoft Platform SDK is not properly detected and used by SCons.

An instance of this issue is reported at http://www.cafu.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=696 and another one at  http://scons.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1272&dsMessageId=2455554

(In [47]) SCons build system:
Explicitly instruct SCons to detect and use the Microsoft Platform SDK for the build environments, as it is not among the default tools.
See thread "Scons 2010/01/17 doesn't look for MS SDK?" at < http://scons.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1272&dsMessageId=2455554> for further information.

This fixes #22, but note that the solution is actually two-fold:
SCons version 1.3.0 or higher is also required, at least with Visual C++ 8 (2005) Express Edition.
