Summary: build pattern initialization failure in Windows 7

Initial Comment:
I have been working through the tutorials for BRL-CAD, on the 64bit
>windows 7 platform. I realize that this is also a relatively recent 'port' to
>Win 7, and not all of the tools have been developed for that OS/platfom.
>I have downloaded/installed release BRL-CAD 7.14.8, and am unsure
>of how to "upgrade" when the other tools become available.
>Specifically, I am currently in need of using the "Build_pattern_tool" for 
>cylindrical coords, but when I try to open the GUI from the menu I get
>this message { Errror: invalid command name "pattern_control" }. then
>in the details it reports {
>invalid command name "pattern_control"
>invalid command name "pattern_control"
>while executing
>"pattern_control .#auto"
>(menu invoke)
>
>}
>The french braces are my notation, so that I could retype the errors
>verbatim.
>So I apologize if this has been taken care of, if that is the case, then my
>question is how to incorporate the new tools into my program. I haven't 
>spotted anything in the documentation (at least not for windows). Is it
>as simple as including the library in the folder with the rest of the .dll 's
>or must it be linked/compiled?
>Thank you for your help, and please pardon my ignorance.
