-Also, because of Windows file-sharing issues it's not possible to overwrite an
-executable file (.exe) while it's running, so you must
-make copies of the wx86cl.exe and wx86cl.image files, and run the 
-(rebuild-ccl :full t) command from the copy. This will update and rebuild the original.

-Sometimes, especially on the development version of Clozure, the compilation process 
-will hang. When this happens, open a Cygwin or MSYS shell, navigate to ccl/lisp-kernel/win32
-and type 'make clean' (this will remove all C compiled files
-including the wx86cl.exe - so make sure you still have your copy .) Run the (rebuild-ccl :full t)
-command again in order to rebuild all.

+Additionally, because of Windows file-sharing issues it's not possible to overwrite an

 You can do everything that the :FULL T option does besides rebuilding the kernel via:
 
 {{{
 ? (rebuild-ccl :clean t)
+}}}

+You can rebuild the lisp kernel by hand by doing:
+
+{{{
+$ cd lisp-kernel/win32 # or win64
+$ make clean && make
