Minor edits.
2001-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi> * README.win32: Minor edits. * glib-zip.in: Build separate runtime and developer packages. * glib/libcharset/config.charset (os): Don't need to match mingw after all, the charset.alias file isn't even used on Win32... (see localcharset.c). * glib/makefile.mingw.in: Add gdir. * glib/glib.def: Add g_dir_* entry points.
