I would like to divide these problems into three bins:
1) Missing files/files in the wrong place in the build
* WinAPI
2) General differences between build structure for 1.55 and 1.56
* Underscores vs. periods
* No 7z version
* Broken links to the docs
* Weird metadata in the zip file
3) Other problems introduced by the build process
4) Problems with the release
* Broken links in the docs
* Multiply defined symbols
* Problems with smart_ptr in debug mode on VC 2013

Marcel - can you verify that the problems you saw do (or do not) exist in
the master branch of the git repo? If they don’t, please let me know. If
they do, please file bugs so they can get fixed.
Paul - I’ll be making a 7z version “soon”; this build was to make sure
everything was in the right place, etc. There will also be a .tar.bz2
version as well.

I’ll post an RC2 version with some of these things fixed in a bit.
