        documentation (at least the README and INSTALL files) before compiling

        STLport Compilation :
  
           - Open a Dos window and go in the STLPort's src directory.
  
           - Rename or copy the "vc6-unicode.mak" to "Makefile".
  
           - Execute `nmake clean all` followed by `nmake install`.
  
        FreeType compilation, by using GNU Make :
  
           - You need to intall GNU make and to place it in the PATH.

           - Open a Dos window and go in the FreeType's directory.
  
           - Execute `make setup visualc' followed by `make`.
  
        FreeType compilation, by using an IDE :
  
           - Compile every (base and optionnal) library components listed
             at the end of the FreeType's INSTALL file.
