You should download the standard source distribution (i.e.
mysql-5.0.45.tar.gz from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
5.0.html#source).
The 'Windows' source distributions that you see in that list are
erroneous - we build Linux and Windows from the same source trees.
If you download the standard source file you should find the win
\configuure and win\build-vs8.bat files and build as per the
instructions in the reference manual.
