+        * Backport change from 1.2.0:
+        * Makefile.am: Include all the available wxstd.mo files into the
+          Microsoft Windows installer, rather than trying to just include those
+          which we have translations for.  This avoids having to maintain a
+          list of which to include, and gives users translations of wxWidgets
+          messages even if they don't get Survex messages translated.

+<P>We use <A HREF="http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php">InnoSetup</A> to
+build the MS Windows Installer.  Survex 1.0.40 was built using InnoSetup
+5.4.2 (non-Unicode version, so that the installer works on older versions
+of Microsoft Windows).

+
+<P>In addition to the translations included with InnoSetup as standard, we also
+add these, which you can find in the <code>lib</code> subdirectory of Xapian's

+
+<P>This file is generated by configure (from the template survex.iss.in).
+We could instead have a static survex.iss which uses #include to pull in
+a file with the Survex version info in, but the current method works well
+enough so we'll stick with it for now (I suspect #include was introduced since
+we started using InnoSetup).
