* doc/bintools.txt
  * config/dosecho.exe
    ! Restored previous version. (new one gave error on some watcom lines f.e.)
    + Added binary+source links.

  * INSTALL
    + Some minor clarifications.
    * 'NT system required' changed 'XP system recommended' for win hosts.
    + Added shell requirement for HB_BUILD_PKG.
    % Simplified os2/watcom on linux example.

  * bin/postinst.cmd
    + Some cleanup/sync with postinst.bat.

  * source/Makefile
    ! Possible fix: Emptying DYNDIRLIST_BASE on dos targets
      to save envvar space.

  * source/Makefile
  * config/lib.mk
    + Added gtcrs and gtsln to dynlib obj list for *nix targets.

  * config/global.mk
    + Added Harbour version number to log header.
    ! Fixed to use short pkg name based on target platform
      no host platform (=dos).

  * config/bsd/gcc.mk
  * config/hpux/gcc.mk
  * config/darwin/icc.mk
  * config/linux/icc.mk
  * config/linux/sunpro.mk
  * config/sunos/gcc.mk
  * config/sunos/sunpro.mk
    + Added dynamic library generation to rest of targets.
    ; Please review, especially sunos/sunpro as it had some
      .sh tricks which I couldn't replicate.

  * config/bsd/global.mk
  * config/hpux/global.mk
  * config/darwin/global.mk
  * config/linux/global.mk
  * config/sunos/global.mk
    ! Setting DYN_PREF to 'lib'.

  * config/wce/mingwarm.mk
  * config/win/mingw.mk
    - Disabled import libs. [They aren't necessary with mingw.]

  * config/darwin/icc.mk
    * Changed to use libtool instead of xiar.
      (blind sync with darwin/gcc)

  * config/dos/djgpp.mk
  * config/common/watcom.mk
  * config/win/bcc.mk
  * config/os2/gcc.mk
    ! Fixed to use $(ECHOQUOTE) in all $(ECHO) calls.

  * config/win/bcc.mk
    ! Fixed use fixed backslashes regardless of shell in scripts.

  * config/dyn.mk
    ! Fixed to use $(LIB_PREF) as implib name prefix.
    % Minor opt in IMP_NAME forming.

  * config/rules.mk
    % Readded $(HB_INC_COMPILE) to be always on cmdline, to
      better balance between cmdline and envvar space. (dos)

  * config/instsh.mk
    % Don't display useless '! Nothing to install' message
      when there was no file to install. (could happen with
      mingw dynamic lib install where implib is empty because
      we don't generate one).
