why vc_custom?

[Richard]

Why do all the DLLs and import libraries have "_vc_custom" in their
name on MSW when you build them using the workspace?

"vc" is the compiler prefix and is used to allow putting DLLs built with
e.g. gcc or Borland in the same directory. As for "custom", this is the
default "vendor" string which is only supposed to be empty for the official
binaries (which we don't currently have...). You can change it on nmake
command line when using makefiles but you need to regenerate the projects
with bakefile using -DCUSTOM="whatever" if you use them for building.
