        Basically, if it's in Doc/ Fred will take care of it.
  
!   ___ Thomas compiles everything with MSVC 6.0 SP5, and moves the
        python23.chm file into the src/chm directory.  The installer
        executable is then generated with Wise Installation System.
  
!       The installer includes the MSVC 6.0 runtime in the files
!       MSVCRT.DLL and MSVCIRT.DLL.  It leads to disaster if these files
!       are taken from the system directory of the machine where the
!       installer is built, instead it must be absolutely made sure that
!       these files come from the VCREDIST.EXE redistributable package
!       contained in the MSVC SP5 CD.  VCREDIST.EXE must be unpacked
!       with winzip, and the Wise Installation System prompts for the
!       directory.
! 
!       After building the installer, it should be opened with winzip,
!       and the MS dlls extracted again and check for the same version
!       number as those unpacked from VCREDIST.EXE.
