Awesome, that did the trick - thanks!

It turns out I was running CMake without the VS Environment vars set, so
%VSINSTALLDIR% was empty. Running with the environment set up correctly
fixed the problem.

I was running a 3.8 install where this functionality had apparently not yet
landed. I pulled a fresh install from trunk earlier and I'm now playing
around with "raw". So far this looks immensely promising and probably well
beyond my own scope of familiarity with the PDB/MSF formats. I didn't
realize that this much progress had been made since 3.8; serves me right I
guess for not looking at trunk sooner!


I will certainly be willing to speak up if I find anything I know that
isn't represented here already.
