After a quick review:

I'd like to rename the "cleanall" target to simply "clean",
as this is a more common name for this function.

There appear to be many intermediate directories between the
top of the tree and the BCB5 directory; can this be reduced?
 I'm also not sure if the expected structure is that
resulting from the installed version of the sources or just
the CVS checkout; it's largely the same, but slightly
different at the top (probably not in any relevant way).  It
appears slightly tedious to make this work easily in both
tree structures, since the win32/ directory is not part of
the Source/ directory of the installed Expat package.

I still haven't had time to re-install my Windows
environment, so I can't yet install Borland's free
command-line compiler, so I'll need your guidance.  ;-(

We are getting ready to release Expat 1.95.4 this coming Friday.

Marking this report "pending", awaiting your response.

Ahh, I didnt clue in that you wanted me to do something 
previously. I have been keeping my proj and makefiles up 
to date and have attached the latest. They should go into 
expat/proj/win32/BCB5 (I did this instead of spreading 
them around the directory tree to reduce clutter).

You can test it with the free Borland command line 
compiler, the make files work with that.

If you are getting close to a release and want to include this 
I'll check it out on a daily basis. Im using the cvs files.

Closing due to non-responsiveness of the reporter and
generally not being able to bring this up to date.

Well, I won't be able to install the C++ Builder demo on my Win2K 
system since I don't have enough space on my system disk.  ;-(

Does this need to be updated to reflect the header name change from 
"config.h" to "expat_config.h"?

I don't think I'll have time to look at 
this before 1.95.3; is this just a few additional files or do other files need 
changing?  I'll try to install the recent C++ Builder demo to try this out.
