=== To compile under Windoze using MS Visual C++ 9 (2008, .NET) ===
  Use solution file "irc_bot\irc_bot.sln".

=== To compile under Windoze using older MS Visual C++ (.NET) ===
  (not recommended, nor supported)

=== To compile under Windoze using Borland C++ 5 ===
  (not recommended, nor supported)
A0. Main project. Under Borland C++ 5 it is unsupported - compiler is
  screaming about large .obj file saying Internal Error. You may try a newer
  version of compiler.
  TODO: Has been this fixed?

=== To compile under Windoze using Borland C++ 6 ===
  (not recommended, nor supported)
Use similar steps like section for MS Visual C++ 7 (.NET) as above, project
  files have extension ".bpr".

B0. Sendmail helper sub-project used to sending an email.
B1. Create project file "sendmail\sendmail.bpr".
B2. Set project's properties similarily.
  Note: There is USELIB command in the "sendmail.cpp" file containing paths
  for OpenSSL libraries. You probably want to change their locations.
B3. Compile.
B4. Drop "sendmail.exe" to bot's root "\sendmail" directory.
Note: Executable must be named "vdc_sendmail.exe" in order the bot is able to
  execute it.

C0. Service sub-project used to start-up your bot(s) when computer boots up.
C1. Create project file "vdcsvc\vdcsvc.bpr"
