Subject: win32 questions - try 2
From: vlad@php.net (Vlad Krupin)

Ok, looks like all win32 experts are on vacation, or have no opinion. 
I've implemented win32 build to the best of my knowledge, and it works. 
I committed it, along with the .dsp file. But I still want to figure out 
how to make sure that php_pspell.dll gets built and included into next 
PHP release.

Somebody who does windows builds, please, could you tell me what I need 
to do to get pspell into win32 snapshots builds? I imagine, we need:

1) install pspell includes and libraries on a build machine, so we can 
link to them
2) add pspell to the build
3) add ';extension=php_pspell.dll' to php.ini-* files

Thanks in advance,

Vlad
