- added an option "--distfiles [path to file, for example libXpm.dll]"
to configure.bat.
That's gratuitous, I think: modern Windows shells are powerful enough
to let you write a FOR loop looking for libXpm.dll along PATH.
This assumes that libXpm.dll is actually somwhere on the PATH, which it might or might not be (and I might not put it on the path). I think the command line option for configure.bat is way more flexible for one's individual build environment, plus who knows, maybe I want to also package libSvg.dll or libWhatever.dll. Now I can do this without having to change the code.

Also, is there any way to get the version number from a file contained
in the source tar ball? Then make dist would always output a zip file
properly named according to the current version.
Again, one of the variants of the FOR command should do the trick.
Could you elaborate on this solution? Thanks!

Christoph

PS: As for the "powerful Windows shells"...not before Windows 7 (or Vista?) with Powershell did Windows ever have a powerful shell... ;)
