!     Don't bother trying to use libbz2.dsp with MSVC.  After 10 minutes
!     of fiddling, I couldn't get it to work.  Perhaps it works with
!     MSVC 5 (I used MSVC 6).  It's better to run the by-hand makefile
!     anyway, because it runs a helpful test step at the end.
  
!     cd into dist\bzip2-1.0.2, and run
!         nmake -f makefile.msc
!     [Note that if you're running Win9X, you'll need to run vcvars32.bat
!      before running nmake (this batch file is in your MSVC installation).
!      TODO:  make this work like zlib (in particular, MSVC runs the prelink
!      step in an enviroment that already has the correct envars set up).

!     A custom pre-link step in the bz2 project settings should manage to
!     build bzip2-1.0.2\libbz2.lib by magic before bz2.pyd (or bz2_d.pyd) is
!     linked in PCbuild\.
!     However, the bz2 project is not smart enough to remove anything under
!     bzip2-1.0.2\ when you do a clean, so if you want to rebuild bzip2.lib
!     you need to clean up bzip2-1.0.2\ by hand.
