Note:
  - GNAT (bin directory) is on C:\Programming\GNAT\2014
  - AWS (aws.gpr) is on C:\Programming\Libraries\aws

On failure the build-script should delete the .build directory it 
creates, otherwise the following error message is displayed on re-running:
"A subdirectory or file .build\win\setup\src already exists."

I think the following will do that:
RMDIR /S /Q .build

Another apparent error (off-a-level) is the COPY on line 17:
copy ..\config\setup\aws-os_lib-tmplt.c .build\win\setup\src
and again on line 18 (in the -P parameter). -- Or perhaps this is due to 
two .build directories existing one in aws, the other in aws\win32.

After all that the process fails w/
'..\xoscons' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Couldn't build or install AWS
