This involves changing the zlib build process to build zlib itself from sources, then use that library. Also updated are the comments to reflect the new official home of zlib, and add Windows specific notes regarding the build process.
that these files are treated as normal text files (which they are). However,
the files also had to be changed to be stored in CVS internally with UNIX line
terminators (they had DOS line terminators internally before this commit).
* Temp directory for all projects are now specific to the project
(rather than common as before). This avoids any conflicts with
debug symbols or common file names etc.
NOTE: You should manually delete your existing build directory after
applying this patch, as the MSVC "clean" command will now only clean
the new temporary directories - not the existing common temp
directory.
* Base address for all extension modules updated. PC\dllbase_nt.txt
also updated. Erroneous "libpath" directory removed for all
projects.
* winsound module moved from a builtin module to an extension
module. This was done primarily to avoid Python16.dll needing to
pull in winmm.dll. Really dumb test added for winsound - but if
nothing else it ensures the module imports.
