About
-----
This folder contains a selection of scripts I am using to help me accomplish
certain tasks.

* ``makemcpp.cmd`` can be used to build MCPP_, a portable C preprocessor.
  The tool is great, but it looks like the project is dormant or dead.
  ``makemcpp.cmd`` relies on ``setvcvars.cmd`` found in the same folder.
* ``ollisign.cmd`` is the script I am using to sign programs.
* ``setvcvars.cmd`` is a very nifty script that allows you to detect the
  given Visual C++ installation, given by the version number - e.g. 8.0
  for Visual C++ 2005, and call its ``vcvars32.bat`` or ``vcvarsall.bat``
  and thus make the build environment available to you (``devenv.exe``,
  ``nmake.exe`` etc). This is very useful if you don't want to hardcode
  the installation paths to Visual C++ into your build scripts. Instead
  ``setvcvars.cmd`` will use ``reg.exe`` (must be downloaded on Windows
  2000, but comes on board starting with XP) to detect the installation
  path.
* ``setbccvars.cmd`` is an adaptation of ``setvcvars.cmd`` Christian
  Wimmer wrote for BCC/BCB from Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero.
* the folder ``speedcommander-includes`` contains some VBA snippets that
  I use for my favorite file manager on Windows: SpeedCommander_. SC as
  it is affectionately called by its fans (me included) allows to automate
  tasks by means of VBA macros. In order to not repeat the common code in
  each and every macro, I wrote these "include" files. Make sure to read
  the ``README.txt`` in the folder to see how this works.
* ``svnsync-init.sh``, ``sync`` and ``relocate-svnsync-source`` are scipts
  that can be used in conjunction with the ``svnsync`` command. From the
  first step of initializing to the steps of synchronizing regularly and
  relocating where to synchronize *from*.
* ``sysinternals-mirror`` a script that can be used to mirror the contents
  of http://live.sysinternals.com without wasting their bandwidth. That is,
  it will copy only select items and only if they have a newer timestamp
  than the local version.
