Hello All!

I'm not ready to update FAQ right now (it should be done along with makefile
update), but i'll provide a short description.

"Binkd2" means OS/2 version.
Binkd2EMX - compiled with old gcc/emx, it would work on ancient systems without
modern libraries. Perl featured version available.
Binkd2kLIBC - compiled with modern gcc for OS/2, requires libc*.dll. It can't
be compiled with perl support right now (binkd 1.1a-69).

Windows versions:
"Mingw32" or "MSVC" - just a different compilers for Windows.
And different bugs ;-)

"Static" - doesn't require msvc*.dll redistributable package.

"W9X" - special version for windows 95/98/Me.

"4GB" - include large file support (4+ gb).

Mingw32 - compiled with mingw from cygwin package. The only working version for
PERLDL=1 compile option (allows user to define actual perl.dll in binkd.cfg).
Full IPV6 support, but WITHOUT large file support (it will crash on such
files).

MSVC - Win32 version for ancient systems (NT/2000). Compiled with MSVC6. Works
with large files, but only partial IPV6 support.

MSVC10 - Win32 version for Windows XP and never. Have all modern features
(large files, IPV6), but perl.dll should be along with binkd.exe or in the
%PATH%.

All Win32 can work in the Win64 environment, at least in pointpackage.

MSVC10X64 - Win64 version.
