+# This manages to rebuild graminit.{h, c} under MSVC 6 (Windows), via
+#
+#     nmake /f grammar.mak
+#
+# The intermediate files can be nuked afterwards:
+#
+#     nmake /f grammar.mak clean
+#
+# I don't understand the maze of preprocessor #define's on Windows, and
+# as a result this requires linking with python22.lib, so it's of no use
+# for bootstrapping (the cause appears to be a useless-- in this
+# particular case --pragma in PC\pyconfig.h, which demands that
+# python22.lib get linked in).
