Very nice. Looks that using Harbour in Windows begins to be as simple
as in *nixes ;-). Thank you very much.
I have one request here. Please add to hbmk2 support for detecting
CLIPPER and RTLINK as base names and switch to -hbcmp/-hblnk mode
automatically plus add support for rtlink @file.lnk in such link mode.
It should greatly help existing Clipper users to make some tests
with Harbour. F.e. it will be enough to make:
   copy hbmk2.exe clipper.exe
   copy hbmk2.exe rtlink.exe
and make tests using existing Clipper build scripts, f.e. with rmake.exe
Of course if user does not use any 3-rd party libraries.
>From .lnk file important is only list of files after FILE directive
but we can add also support for LIB parsing and some basic translation
for used lib names. AFAIR other directives can be ignored. Such parser
can be implemented as separated single function and probably can be used
also for BLINKER .lnk files.

The whole distro is rather huge though it should not be big problem
for normal usage. But if we have support for above CLIPPER/RTLINK
emulation then we should think also about creating some minimal
Harbour distribution with some small C compiler (f.e. POCC) for
x...@32 only as startup and for Clipper users who want to make some
tests with Harbour.

best regards,
Przemek
