+DESCRIPTION:
+a workspace and associated projects required to build the axis2_client.dll and immediate default dependencies.  
+
+does not include project files for:
+samples
+guththila
+clients
+services
+tcpmon
+
+requires:
+1)libxml2-2.6.27.win32.zip
+2)iconv-1.9.2.win32.zip
+3)zlib-1.2.3.win32.zip
+
+4)a directory called 'axis2c_deps' into which are extracted these three zips.  The projects reference these directories using a relative path so this axis2c_deps directory must be placed in the AXIS2C_HOME root.  (sibling of ides directory)
+
+5)MS Platform SDK
+6)axutil project has references to the platform SDK include and lib directories.  due to NOTE below need to be verified for each installation.
+
+**NOTE old-style condensed paths are REQUIRED which on the workstation used to create the projects are 
+"c:/progra~1/micros~4/include" and "c:/progra~1/micros~4/lib".  note that the ~4 is likely to be different depending on target workstation configuration. (use dir /x to see the workstation-specific condensed name)
+
+
+
+INSTALL:
+extract to AXIS2C_HOME directory.  the workspace will be extracted to /ides/vc/axis2c and the project files will be placed in the appropriate subdirectories.
+create axis2c_deps in AXIS2C_HOME and extract dependency zips into it.
+ensure path to MS platform SDK is correct in axutil project settings.
+
+
+OUTPUT:
+with axis2_engine selected as active project, "build all" creates target .dll and .lib files in the AXIS2C_HOME/lib directory.
+
+
+KNOWN BUGS:
+some warnings about platform-specific header files appear but compile, run and debug work correctly
