Thanks for all the very useful information! Much appreciated.

Based upon all this I tried first setting VSINSTALLDIR and adding 
to PATH the path to the linker. And setting LIB. (Apparently 
LIBPATH is for the compiler, not the linker.) This did the job! 
I'll put the path to the linker and the directories in LIB into 
switches in etc/ldc2.conf and I'll have a clean setup.
