[Vortex] win2K and Channel DTD

[DE JAGER Frédéric NAN]

Hello Francis,

I'm using the binary distribution of LibVortex (version 1.0.15)

I narrowed the trouble to a probable bad behaviour in the functions
axl_stream_strdup_printfv and axl_stream_strdup_printf_len which look to
behave differently on Win2K than XP.

To have a correct behaviour I did rebuild LibAxl using the Visual C++
solution but modified the it:

In the axl_config.h I file I commented the following lines 
//#define AXL_OS_UNIX (0)
//#define AXL_HAVE_VASPRINTF (0)
As my target platform is WIN32 and not using gcc it make sense :)



Next I've modified the project properties:

I added the following preprocessor definitions :
_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE (to get ride of the junk produced by visual about
deprecated functions)
AXL_OS_WIN32 


It seems to work but as I'm not the dev. using your lib I don't really know
if it can break things as I've no idea of potential side effect.

Cheers
Fred

Starting from vortex 1.0.14 release [1] it is no longer required to
bundle DTD files along with the dll. They are inlined inside the code
using axl-knife (see vortex-channel.dtd.h [2]). 

Are you using vortex 1.0.15 windows installer? or you are building from
source code?

Cheers!
