Patch: Visual C++ Library Project Renames - libcvs & libz

[Conrad T. Pino]

Hi All,
====================================
While working on patches to upgrade Visual C++ (VC) project files
to VC 6.0 (VC6) format I noted running VC6 IDE "Export Makefile..."
creates these files for library project "lib/lib.dsp":

        lib/LIB.dep     (upper case LIB)
        lib/LIB.mak     (upper case LIB)

which have differing case from .dsp file.
----------
While emailing Derek Price, he pointed out that some:

1. VC .dsp file names didn't agree with generated .lib file name
2. VC project names didn't agree with generated .lib file name
3. VC .lib file names didn't agree with UNIX library file name

and suggested addressing the above issues in a single patch.
----------
The proposed goal of this patch is to synchronize library project
files names as follows.

Library project "libdiff" should use file names:

        diff/libdiff.a
        diff/libdiff.dep
        diff/libdiff.dsp
        diff/libdiff.mak

Library project "libdiff" should use file names:

        diff/libdiff.a
        diff/libdiff.dep
        diff/libdiff.dsp
        diff/libdiff.mak

Library project "libcvs" should use file names:

        lib/libcvs.a
        lib/libcvs.dep
        lib/libcvs.dsp
        lib/libcvs.mak

Library project "libz" should use file names:

        zlib/libz.a
        zlib/libz.dep
        zlib/libz.dsp
        zlib/libz.mak
====================================
The patch set has been tested as follows:

        Debug   mode builds in VC6 IDE,
        Release mode builds in VC6 IDE,
        Debug   mode batch builds,
        Release mode batch builds and

all build successfully with the usual warnings.
====================================
This patch set renames library projects and files as follows:

        diff/libdiff.lib   (no changes)
        lib/libcvs.lib     (rename project in VC, file not changed)
        zlib/libz.lib      (rename project in VC, rename file)

where VC project name matches name after "/" and before ".lib"

        diff/libdiff.lib   -> libdiff
        lib/libcvs.lib     -> libcvs
        zlib/libz.lib      -> libz
====================================
File attachment "Patch-libz.txt" contains patches for:

        cvsnt.dep
        cvsnt.dsp
        cvsnt.dsw
        cvsnt.mak

        diff/libdiff.dep
        diff/libdiff.mak

and is intended for use by the patch committer.

Attached patch text file uses Windows/DOS new line standard.

File "New-files-libz.zip" contains new files:

        lib/libcvs.dep
        lib/libcvs.dsp
        lib/libcvs.mak

        zlib/libz.dep
        zlib/libz.dsp
        zlib/libz.mak

and is intended for use by testers and the patch committer.
