Add Python scripts to generate the full win32/config.h.win32 and
src/hb-version.h which can be used to build directly from a GIT
checkout. Since the scripts are currently intended for building from a
GIT checkout, these are not distributed in the release tarballs.
Also, support the re-build of Ragel-generated .hh headers using the NMake
build system, and allow one to specify the path of the Ragel executable
if a suitable one cannot be found in the PATH.
Update the Win32/NMake build documentation to let people know about how
these mechanisms can be utilized.
This adds a set of NMake Makefiles that can be used to build HarfBuzz, from
the standard basic build building the minimal HarfBuzz DLL (consisting
of OpenType, fallback and Uniscribe support only), to a full fledged build
consisting of GLib and FreeType support, as well as building the utilities,
the test programs in src/ and test/api, and HarfBuzz-ICU and
HarfBuzz-GObject, and up to building the introspection files. This means a
flexible build mechanism is supported here, so anything that is supported
for a Windows build (code-wise), should all be supported by this build
system.
As in an earlier commit, the source listings are shared with the autotools
builds with the various Makefile.sources in src/, src/hb-ucdn and util/, and
this set of NMake Makefiles will transform these lists into the form they
want.
In the current form, all the test programs in test/api pass, and this has
been checked successfully with 'make -j8 distcheck'.
