Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP, Win95/98/ME):

- Requires MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0.

  Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 cannot be distributed: They depend
  on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part of a
  Woe32 installation, therefore the distribution of such binaries - with or
  without msvcr70.dll - would be a violation of the GPL. This problem does not
  occur with MSVC 6.0 and earlier.

- Cannot build in a separate directory.

- Build instructions:

   Make sure that the MSVC4.0 or MSVC5.0 or MSVC6.0 or MSVC7.0 utilities
   ("cl" etc.) are found in PATH. In a typical MSVC6.0 installation, this
   can be achieved by running
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat
   In a typical MSVC7.0 installation, it can be achieved by running
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat

   Decide which compilation model you will use:
     MFLAGS=-ML (the default)  Single-threaded, statically linked - libc.lib
     MFLAGS=-MT                Multi-threaded, statically linked  - libcmt.lib
     MFLAGS=-MD                Multi-threaded, dynamically linked - msvcrt.lib

   You need GNU libiconv (version 1.9 or newer) installed under c:\usr. If
   you haven't yet, build and install GNU libiconv (version 1.9 or newer)
   using the same MFLAGS. Then come back to here, to build GNU gettext.

   For shared library (DLL):

        nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD

   For static library:

        nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD

   If you want to build both the shared and static library, you have to
   unpack the gettext sources twice in different directories. Don't mix
   the two formats; you cannot use the libintl.h generated for the static
   library together with the shared library or vice versa.

- Installation:

        nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory
   or
        nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory
