[jbr] - I have been trying to compile the tcom extensions with no success.

It should be understood that I have little or no experience on Windows.

I started by checking out the source from a git repository here https://github.com/pukkaone/tcom.git.  I installed ActiveTcl, CMake and Visual C++ 2008 as instructed by the BUILD_INSTRUCTIONS.md.  When trying to build the project created by cmake, the git sources seem to be missing "version.h" and "buildNumber.h".  I stole these files from the 3.9 zip file on [Chin Huang]'s site.  I had to add an include directive to the *.rc files for "buildNumber.h".  The project then builds without erros but the package does not work.  A test script hangs at "package require tcom".  Also, the dll files are very large and not comparable to the distributed binaries.
