I find this highly doubtful, what do you guys think? He must joke. Ask hime for showing some envidences, for example, some pieces of search or eval code ;-) I think 4 weeks may be enough for chopping them from other programs but never enough for debugging any one of those functions. For 2600 elo, I believe he has to spend at least 4 years. Perhaps, we should understand his meaning: build==compile and he meant he was successful to compile himself an existing engine. Actually, I have also spent about 4 weeks to compile successfully Crafty by VC6 for first time.
