There aren't any compiled libs, as such, just the source files in the
libs folder.
The point, from my situation, is that the full distribution contains
documentation, several examples, and a number of aiff files, and comes
in at a little over 3.7 MB compressed. I have absolutely no space left
on my cableinet server (they only allow 5 MBytes :-((), so everything
else is courtesy of my Bath University site, on which I am already
living a little dangerously. Adding a 3.7Mbyte file might just be a step
too far, at least until I can get an OK from Bath.

It is also an ecomnomy issue for me, as I have to pay for my phone
connection, and it is ~much~ cheaper to update a small zipfile with a
few changes, than a huge 3.7Mbyte file each time!

I can certainly add the full lib folder, as those files compress to not
very much, and make it self-sufficient to that extent. But people will
still need (or almost certainly want) to have the full distribution
anyway, so I am simply trying to provide what must be ~added~ to (or
changed in) the full distribution to make a Win32 system.

I will add the full lib folder to sfront32.zip, bu that is as far as I
can go at the moment, unfortunately.
