Win32 Binaries

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi,

http://www2.dmsolutions.on.ca/mapserver/dl/ms_3.3.011-win32.zip is
compiled with TIFF, GD 1.2, FREETYPE and PROJ4 ... so the only
difference is that JPEG is missing.

BTW, our ms_3.3.011-win32.zip will probably become obsolete if Pericles
maintains one on the MapServer web site (we'll just place a
php_mapscript.dll on our FTP site).  We used to have a readme.txt in the
ZIP file with the compile options but it seems to have been forgotten
this time... it might be a good idea to include one in your distribution
too Pericles.

Steve, what would you think of adding a "-v" command-line option to the
"mapserv" executable that would return the same as the writeVersion()
function?  That would have been useful in this case.

  Don't put for tomorrow what you can do today, because if 
      you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow.
