Summary: expat_win32 bin built with /MT instead of /MD

Initial Comment:
With version 1.95.7, the expat_win32 binaries are built 
with /MT (multi-threaded libraries linked-in). This is 
also the default in the expat 1.95.7 Visual Studio 
project.
The README.txt says  "By default the Expat Dlls are 
built to link with the multi-threaded run-time Dll." ... 
that is /MD, which is also what I'd expect.

I don't have the full version of BCB5 and cannot correct
the project files. Since the build behaviour is documented in
the README file, we do not really have a bug but rather an
inconsistency and inconvenience.

I am closing this report as I don't have the means or time
to correct this minor issue. Maybe someone else will submit
a patch for this (rather outdated) compiler.

There is still an inconsistency on Windows, as the BCB5
make files build with linkage to the Borland runtime Dll.
I think I should change that to be consistent with the
MS VC++ builds.

Anything else to be done here?  If not, this issue can be
closed.

Corrected documentation - ReadMe files in BCB5 and Win32
directories.

Thanks for pointing out these inconsistencies.

As far as default options are concerned:
I think we should leave it as /MT as this does not
force one to include MSVCRTxx.DLL in the distribution.

So what should be fixed is the documentation.
In any case, it's easy to change for a custom build.

Are there good reasons to do it differently?
