On this page http://webkit.org/building/tools.html. The last
instruction of Step 2 is

/*****************************************/
"In addition to the paths specified in step 3 of the Platform SDK
installation instructions, you must also add the following include
path. Update the Visual C++ directories in the Projects and Solutions
section in the Options dialog box:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Include\mfc"
/*****************************************/

This is ambiguous and confusing since 'paths' are added using the
'show directories for' drop down menu.  The 'show directories for'
drop down menu contains the following options:

Executable files
Include files
Reference files
Library files
Source files
Exclude directories

You want to add it to "Include files", thus the mention of "include path". I
agree we can make it even more clear.

There is no 'include path'  option, only 'include files'.

The include path is the path used to find include files.




How is the reader supposed to know which option to select when adding
the additional path specified in Step 2?  The instruction is further
rendered useless because of the confusing spacing and single type face
used for

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Include\mfc"

What do you find confusing about it? I believe you should be able to cut and paste the string. We can use a monospace font for this path if you think it
would help.

Perhaps this is my fault, I'm not accustomed to include strings being
anything other than file locations or directory paths.  I do not have
the directory "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows
Server 2003 R2\Include\mfc"

Is this correct?

Sounds to me like you are missing some needed files, then, specifically the platform SDK. Did you follow the installation instructions for that?
