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

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 :-)
