How to navigate the sources

[Tournie]

Thanks for clearing that up for me.  So I downloaded cups-1.6svn-r10360-source.tar (I can't recall if I took the bz2 or gz) and I've used 7-zip to unpack it down to the folder cups-1.6svn-r10360.

The INSTALL.txt file doesn't mention Windows, but if I get gcc and 'make' can I end up with the .lib and .dll files that I'll need?
