   4. With an IDE Project File (e.g., for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior)
 
     We provide a  small number of `project files'  for various IDEs to
     automatically build  the library as  well.  Note that  these files

     To find them, have a  look at the content of the `builds/<system>'
     directory, where <system> stands for your OS or environment.
