[M3devel] cm3 5.5 for Windows min test release

[j k]

Can folks try from ~jkrell on m3.elegosoft.com:

  cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.3.2-symbols.tgz
  cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.3.2.tgz

Really they are version d5.5.0.

There is some wierd problem where I don't have execute permissions on the 
extracted files, so:

  tar xvfz cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.3.2.tgz
  cacls . /t /e /g everyone:f
  .\cminstall

You will only be prompted for where to install, which defaults to c:\cm3.

When using cm3, cl and link need to be in %PATH%, and %LIB% and possibly 
%INCLUDE% need to be set.
Visual C++ includes a batch file to set these, named for example 
vcvars32.bat.
cd \programs files
dir /s/b v*bat
will find it and there is a shortcut to it on the start menu.

This also mitigates the problems with spaces in file paths (which were 
otherwise mitigated by converting to short names, which do not guaranteeably 
exist).

On computers without Visual C++ 2005 installed and without the .NET Runtime 
2.0, download and run the setup for the Visual C++ 8.0 runtime:
  -- vcredist_x86.exe
  -- from
