-production/msys hierarchy:
- This is copied directly from the msys project of MingW.
- It has had zip.exe, unzip.exe and short_path.exe added to it:
+production/win32_help hierarchy:
+ unzip.exe & zip.exe:
+ The zip and unzip tools are from the info-zip project. They are somewhat
+ antiquated but still work great on the various 32-bit windows platforms.
+ These utilities are self-identified as: "Zip 2.3 (November 29th 1999)"
+ To get a more recent version of the zip utilities or build them yourself,
+ they can be found at the site: http://www.info-zip.org/

- short_path.exe:
- This tool is built by the code bootstrapping process (that is, by
- scripts/generator/bootstrap_build.sh), but unfortunately it is
- desperately needed for windows builds to work nicely with clam and
- bash. If you don't have it, and your visual studio installation path
- has spaces in it, then you may have trouble bootstrapping. You can
- manually change your VC root variable to a short path version, as
- reported by dir /x). This tool can be replaced by any newer working
- version created by a bootstrap build.
