[Yes they succeeded in substantially creating NT 4.0 before introducing the sad 9x series, wasting millions of development hours on a now-dead OS line.] The patch to foo around with COPYCMD [which does/doesn't work on 9x?

[PATCH] Re: libhttpd.dsp use of xcopy /y breaks compile on NT 4.0
This patch seems to work ok on both NT 4.0 and 2K. I don't know what's going on with the USERDEP change though... (from USERDEP__WIN32 to USERDEP_GEN_T).

Here is the commit message for using xcopy: "Tired of 'foo.h not found' messages in the build. Checked ms's docs, seems xcopy's /y arg goes all the way back to Win95. This shouldn't introduce any hassles."

Heads-up. I am backing out this patch to get compiles on NT 4.0 working again.
