Hi Wing,

   Thanks for the howto, building the GFW is a little tricky.  I'd also
like to see us move exclusively to the open source GFW.  One other issue
I want to point out though is that the open source GFW can't run the
nvrboot.efi utility shipped with Windows.  Whenever I try to run it I
get:

'nvrboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program, or batch file
Exit status code: Invalid Parameter

"." is in my path, and I've tried all variations of specifying the full
name of the executable and the absolute path that I can think of.  Has
anyone else tried this and seen this problem?  Thanks,

        Alex
