Attempting to build and install latest ETS>3.0.0b1 on Windows XP

I'm trying to download, build and install all the latest bleeding edge 
ETS, Traits 3, Chaco 3 etc under Windows XP.

My initial problem is that I have failed to get "ets co" installed and 
working.

A bit of background, I'm downloading and building on my main notebook 
which currently has ETS 3.0.0b1, Traits 3 and Chaco 3 from around February.

I'm going to download into a g:\enthought directory structure, then 
probably use egg_builder.py (mine is dated Jan 16th 2008 so I'll have a 
look around the website first to see if I should be using something newer).

Once I've built the eggs I'm going to do a clean install of Python 2.5 
on another notebook, using the .msi from python.org. Then I'll install 
the newly built eggs and then my app and then see what happens.

Sound ok?

So far, I have

(1) looked at http://code.enthought.com/source/ and read about 
ETSPackageTools

(2) looked at https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/Build but decided 
it wasn't what I wanted as I want to build ETS 3 on XP

(3) gone to https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/SVNScripts, then 
have done ...

Just checked this in (the wiki page renders the RST doc out of the 
source tree.)

I've also updated the c.e.c/source page to correct the name to 
ETSProjectTools instead of ETSPackageTools.

Because (a) that message is about the *source* for the project, not the 
binaries that you have installed, and (b) even if you had the source on 
your system, the "ets" command is not crawling your disks to find it, it 
*is* looking for the source in the svn repositories it knows about.

I've updated the message in the script based on the discussion we had 
about this a few months ago:
https://mail.enthought.com/pipermail/enthought-dev/2008-February/012447.html

I also added a section about it to the Troubleshooting section of the 
README, though it's a bit redundant.
