! Dependency to ace32.lib when creating DLL with RDDADS conditioned
to setting of HB_ADS_IMPLIB (see explanation below).
I was only able to test the BC build; users of other compilers
please test the other ones and fix if appropiate.

* xharbour/contrib/rdd_ads/rddads.h

! Code synchronized with Harbour. Thanks to Viktor Szakats!
! Linux and Watcom hacks moved from ace.h to rddads.h.
- ace.h removed from cvs; use HB_DIR_ADS setting to specify location
of acesdk where ace.h and ace32.dll reside. This file had way too
many hacks that make it very difficult to sync with new versions of
ADS. We should avoid having 3rd party source in xharbour as much
as possible and only use the original source files from the
developers SDK.
! ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION is now deprecated. Please remove this setting
from your build environment. The new system will autodetect the
ADS version used from the HB_DIR_ADS setting. The new setting is
now called ADS_LIB_VERSION and uses a 3 digit syntax in order to
identify minor versions (i.e. 720 or 810 instead of just 7 or 8).
ADS_LIB_VERSION doesn't need to be set since it will be autodetected,
but you could still do so if you so desire.
! Andi's ace32.c left as an experimental option for now. To build
rddads.lib using ace32.c instead of ace32.lib (import library)
set HB_ADS_IMPLIB=no; the default is yes or not defined at all for
this envvar. Once the issues with this approach are fixed we can
completely stop relying in ace32.lib.
In summary if HB_ADS_IMPLIB is not set or set to "yes":
for Borland builds, lib/ace32.lib will be created automatically.
For other builds, it uses the ace32.lib as supplied in the acesdk
folder. If HB_ADS_IMPLIB is set to "no", then ace32.lib won't be
used at all and Andi's contrib/rdd_ads/ace32.c dynamic wrappers
will be placed in lib/rddads.lib.
NOTE: VC users please adjust make_vc.bat & makefile.vc to
conditionally compile and link ace32.c like I did in
make_b32.bat & makefile.bc.
NOTE: GNU makefile will remain using the import library approach
unless some GNU guru can make ace32.c work in Linux/Unix.
How to build rddads with BCC 5.5.1:
set HB_DIR_ADS=C:\Program Files\Extended Systems\Advantage 8.1\acesdk
make_b32 clean
make_b32
How to build rddads with BCC 5.5.1 using the experimental ace32.c:
set HB_DIR_ADS=C:\Program Files\Extended Systems\Advantage 8.1\acesdk
set HB_ADS_IMPLIB=no
make_b32 clean
make_b32
rddads.lib and ace32.lib will be created in xharbour\lib in the
first case; only rddads.lib in the second one.
Note that for a normal build, NEITHER the deprecated
ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION nor the new ADS_LIB_VERSION should
be set at all.
