ReproducibleScript:
1) tclsh.ico was added to Tcl 8.3.1's .rc file. It isn't in the tree. Tcl
doesn't build with makefile.vc.
2) makefile.vc should say
TOOLS32		= $(MSVCDIR)
TOOLS32_rc	= $(MSDEVDIR)
instead of
TOOLS32		= c:\Progra~1\devstudio\vc
TOOLS32_rc	= c:\Progra~1\devstudio\sharedide
or you can make it optional
!ifdef MSVCDIR
...

MSVCDir and MSDevDir are usually set globally by install, or if the user
selects no, they are set by running the installed vcvars32.bat file. NMake
has some surprising case sensitivity, so I think the all CAPS is
warranted.
TOOLS32		= $(MSVCDIR)
TOOLS32_rc	= $(MSDEVDIR)



I have MSDevDir, but not MSVCDIR defined by default.  This is
set in vcvars32.bat, but I asked for everything to be installed
with VC++5, including vars, which shows that MS either forgot
to install one, or thought it not important...
