Ah! Further to my earlier post, where it seems I missed the point.
Yes, you need a DevKit AND a TarBall.

There are (afaik) four ways to 'get a devkit':
1. Install Linux
2. Install full CygWin (see cygwin.com) ...good luck, I've never managed it.
3. Use the version-1 dev kit from the Rockbox homepage

4. Use the version-2 dev kit from the Cyborg Systems homepage
