Current stuff makes a per-package solution file with absolute paths for referenced project files, hence works no matter where the solution file is. This is a good thing since so far I can't figure out how to get SCons to put the solution file where I want it.
Added code to define INST_DIR in _setup.bat. Can now run (as well as build) programs like test_Ifile in package xmlBase which depend on this environment variable. The Studio debugger is able to find and display source from facilities as well as xmlBase. But Studio constantly thinks it needs to rebuild things it doesn't actually need to rebuild.

Added some code to tool generateScript.py to write an additional file, _setup.bat, on Windows only. It sets up PATH variable so that Studio can usefully be run with the SCons-generated project files. _setup.bat needs more work; it doesn't yet establish other environment variables which _setup.vbs sets. (The problem with _setup.vbs is that it creates the new environment in a separate process, then exits before anything useful can be done with it.) _setup.bat must be created by the developer (not just imported as part of an install) because it contains absolute file paths.
