WINDOWS INSTALLER FOR SUBVERSION PYTHON BINDINGS
================================================

To build a Windows installer for the Subversion Python bindings:

 1. Build the Subversion Python bindings for Windows using Visual C++ 6.0.

 2. Update the version in setup.py to match your version of Subversion.
 
 3. Create "libsvn" and "svn" directories. Copy the necessary Python (*.py)
    and DLL files (*.dll) into these directories.

 4. Run python setup.py bdist_wininst --target-version=2.4 to build an
    installer for Python 2.4. If you built your bindings for a different
    version of Python, adjust that command-line appropriately.

That's it! Python will put the installer in the 'dist' directory.
