-There are a few pre-built binaries included with this code distribution.
-They originate from a few different sources.  Feel free to not trust them.
-
-These apps are external to the feisty meow build...
-
-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:
-
-    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.
