STLport (`mw4\Libraries\stlport`) wraps a 27 MB snapshot of the VC98 + Platform SDK
headers (974 files). It used to require a hardcoded `C:\stlnative`; it now lives here at
`build-env\stlnative\`, and the 3 macros in `stl_inc_find.hpp` point at

macro lines to the new absolute path.)

environment packages) under `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\{VisualStudio,DevStudio}\6.0`
