+    + enabled dynlib generation by default on the Windows
+      platform. It means that hbrun will be built in shared
+      mode, so it can load them. You can copy hbmk2 to the name
+      'hbrun' and get a static built hbrun, or build it using
+      its .hbp file to your own needs. If you feel offended
+      anyways, turn off dyn contribs as described in README.txt
