I sat down at a Windows machine just now, and I see what the problem is:
Apparently it doesn't work to set the classpath as 'lib/*' in Windows.
Oddly, it does seem to work if I set the classpath to lib/Vengine.jar;lib/*.
I don't get it---maybe you can shed some light on this?

That change is all I needed to get this build to start---but you're going
to encounter an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException right away anyhow if the
'new user' screen comes up for you. I hadn't seen this before, as it's
never shown on my system.

I'm writing this as I go---I've fixed the Exception---it was happening
because I missed merging 2569:2570 from trunk.

Here's a newer build, which should fix both problems:
