I've looked into this more, after someone complained on IRC --
it looks like the djgpp version doesn't work either.  I've come
to the conclusion that the zips don't include the dependency
information at all!  It's impressive that Make gets on as well
as it does without that information, I think. :)  Consequently,
all the intermediate files (plugins.h, mmx.h, asmdef.inc) have
to be requested by hand.

I went back to the current CVS version, to try out zipup.sh and
see what went wrong -- but nothing did.  It's made an almost
perfect archive, as far as I can see -- all that I can see
missing is the mingw32 static directories, which weren't added
to CVS it seems, and all that I can see extra is the demo data
file, and a tmpfile.txt in the top directory.

I'm including a zip of the archive contents -- can you see any
problems here?  I've cut out some things which are obviously
just sources, to reduce the length; I listed the snipped
directories at the end.  If there's nothing wrong, I suggest we
make this 3.9.34 (after fixing the problems I just mentioned)
and upload it.

On a sidenote, I'm having some problems requesting old versions
from CVS -- anything which refers to an old version (like a diff
-r) gives an error from the server.  Does anyone else experience
this, or have ideas as to what causes it?
