builddoc.bat failed on my system and reading it made my head hurt. So I
did what I've done with other bat files and rewrote it in Perl. The
result is attached. It works for me, and should be a dropin replacement.
Just put it in the src/tools/msvc directory and run "perl builddoc.pl".
Please test it and if it works for you we'll use it and make
builddoc.bat a thin wrapper like build.bat and vcregress.bat.
