COMPILING FOR VISUAL STUDIO
---------------------------
1. Unpack the file mapquant-src-win32-vc-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz, 
   lets call the path where it was unpacked INSTALATION_SRC_DIR
   For this example we assume that:
   
   INSTALATION_SRC_DIR = C:\dev
   
   When you unpack everything will be in C:\dev\mapquant
   
2. BEFORE opening Visual Studio you have to have perl and bison installed

   NOTE: If you do not have cygwin then:
   
   bison can be downloaded from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/
   perl can be downloaded from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/

   After you install bison and perl set the following environment variables to point 
   to their executable respectively.
   
   BISON and PERL
   
   for example for bison C:\cygwin\bin\bison.exe

2. Open workspace mapquant.dsw found in INSTALATION_SRC_DIR/mapquant

3. Compile the mapquant project   
   
INSTALLING FOR WIN32
--------------------

Lets call the path where you want to install mapquant INSTALATION_DIR
It is a good habit for INSTALATION_DIR to be diferrent from the 
INSTALATION_SRC_DIR mentioned above, which was set to C:\dev

For this example we assume that:
   
INSTALATION_DIR = C:\

NOTE: Filenames and directories must not have spaces.  This includes the SRC 
      and DEST directories.  If you try to use DOS type of workarounds 
      (eg. C:\progra~1\) then you may need to manually edit .mapquantrc as 
      these get expanded.

1. Run install-vc.pl

Run .\install-vc.pl -i "C:"
   
2. Set environment variables PATH, PERL5LIB, MAPQUANT_PATHFILE

set PATH 		to C:\mapquant\bin
set PERL5LIB 		to C:\mapquant\bin
set MAPQUANT_PATHFILE 	to C:\mapquant\.mapquantrc
