[GnuWin32-Users] Concerning the newpackaging of GNUWIn32

[Per S. <per...@br...>]

Hi,
A note on the packaging which are god but, on windows there is a limit on
the
length off the path variable so if all packages are getting their own
directory under program then the length of the environment variable PATH
will be to long.

Therfor i sugest that you take the folowing approach in order to get to get
it to work in the long run.
1) select a GNUWin32 base dir without spaces in the path, just to avoid
problems
	"C:\GNUWin32" or something similar.
2) Organise the packages as folows
	<Base>/
		bin/
			As today with all files from the bin dirs
		lib/
			As today with all files from the lib dirs
		contrib/
			<package name>
				files form packages contrib.
				uninstall shield.
		doc/
		share/
		...
		...

3) I got some Scripts for "Inno setup" that does this at the moment.
