[Hugs-bugs] Missing Types.dll in WinHugs-May2006.exe?

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi Kim,

The libraries that ship with WinHugs May 2006 are a fresh build, those
with the old version are from a really old WinHugs release, hence the
different contents. As far as I can tell, the build for the Win32
package succeeded. That means that:

* The build script missed making the .dll
* The build script failed to make the .dll, and didn't shout at me
* The library has an issue.

I don't really know what this is, but i'll take a look if no one else
shouts. I have cc'd a person who seems to be working on the Win32
package, to see if thats anything to do with it.

For the moment you should be able to paper over the problem by copying
the old Win32 directory into the packages directory, replacing the new
one.

Thanks

Neil
