I'd be tempted to add /DNOCRYPT to GNUTLS_CFLAGS rather than not compile it.

"Microsoft Visual Studio 8" includes the Platform SDK v2.0.50727 and
Microsoft.NET Framework v2.0.50727

vs32vars.bat puts both "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\PlatformSDK\include" and "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\SDK\v2.0\include" in the INCLUDE.

Recompiling zlib according to the MSVC7 hints seems to work.

I also get errors if I set HHC_DIR. In VS8 the hhc.exe program is in
"C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop" but includes and libs are in
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK" so the
HHC_CFLAGS and HHC_LIBS point to the wrong directory.
