== How to roll a release on Windows ==
* prepare some directory <INSTALL_DIR> like this:
** INSTALL_DIR/EiffelStudio : contains the complete delivery without the ec.exe binaries (there are several ways to do this, one is take the official release version and simply add/replace the new cdd files. 
** INSTALL_DIR/gcc: the gcc directory (check out $EIFFEL_SRC/free_add_ons/gcc 'as' this)
** INSTALL_DIR/releases/gpl_version/ec.exe (the cdd version exe, obviously)
** INSTALL_DIR/releases/enterprise_version/ec.exe (take the same ec.exe, it's a dummy for script and won't be used)

* let env variable INSTALL_DIR point to this <INSTALL_DIR>
* let env variable INIT_DIR point to your Delivery/scripts/windows folder (i checked out trunk)
* finalize the "hallow" tool (Src/tools/hallow/hallow.ecf)
* create if not exists directory INIT_DIR/install/bin
* copy content of Src/tools/hallow/EIFGENs/hallow/F_code to INIT_DIR/install/bin
* get a proper setup.dll (from manus probably) and put it into INIT_DIR/install/binaries/x86/
* (create directories that don't exist)
* start command line, go to INIT_DIR/install/content/eiffelstudio and run:
** nmake /nologo clean
** nmake /nologo
** nmake /nologo gpl_x86
* wait some minutes .... and pray :-)


== List of CDD specific files ==
The following files have to be overwritten or added to a stock EiffelStudio release:
* cdd base library classes -> Src/library/base/ise/support/cdd
* the manual_test_class.cls file -> Delivery/studio/help/defaults
* the new 16x16.png -> Delivery/studio/bitmaps/png/
* the cdd examples folder -> Src/examples/cdd
* Splash screens ->  Delivery/studio/bitmaps/png/splash_shadow.png Delivery/studio/bitmaps/png/splash.png
