How to Build:

The (brute-force) builder is [.packages.vms]build_vms.com.  Comments in
this procedure describe various optional parameters which enable or
disable optional program features, or which control the build in other
ways.  Product files (.EXE, .H, .LIS, .MAP, .OBJ, .OLB, ...) should be
produced in an architecture-specific subdirectory under this directory
([.ALPHA], [.IA64], [.VAX]).

   Example build commands:

      @ [.packages.vms]build_vms.com CLEAN
      @ [.packages.vms]build_vms.com LARGE LDAP
      submit /noprint [.packages.vms]build_vms.com /param = (LARGE, LDAP)


Other Notes:

The test suites are not supported as of 7.11.0.

The curlmsg.sdl and curlmsg.h files are generated from curlmsg.msg.
This is not done automatically, since the .MSG file is a hand edit
of the relevant stuff from the curl.h file.  If you want to do this
yourself you'll need the SDL package from the freeware collection.
