Yes, thank you, it is more trivial, especially for the authors themselves,
and zlib does hopefully uses something like awk.

What am I trying is not to explain to zlib authors how to deal with those
yet another .rc files, but to solve that annoying problem last and all the
time.

There are also unofficial patches (e.g. for Windows CE), and possible
private user builds, that are not covered by awk.

With best regards,
