windows c++ noob : builder, make

$

OK so I'm used to general c++ and java for a a year or 2...
now I'm learning visual c++ or winapi programming...just got used to all that typedef redefining done by windows..
some I believe not necessary at all..haha... what is the point in redefining a WORD to an ATOM??? nothing changes just the name..well..that is another discussion for another day...

the main question... I'm trying to understand the source code of an application package, in the package there are
the folders, .vs, bin, configs, include, lib, make, output, source and temp..
source folder contains : builder, buildertools, client, common, other, server, ecc..
well this are the most important folders which got my attention...
Can the more seasoned windows programmers explain to me why this organization, for example,
what must be expected in a builder folder, what in a common folder, what in a server folder, well this is obvious :D, are these divisions because of a particular design pattern... I hope I made myself clear...
to be a little bit more specific..I will appreciate more explanation on the builder folder, and what in general is a builder in an application package ...
help a noob wanting to learn :) ..thanks in advance to all who will contribute
