+MinGW:
+mingw32-make -f Make_ming.mak GUI=yes CSCOPE=yes XPM=e:/hg/xpm/x86
+
+Microsoft Visual C++ on x64 (tested with versions 2008 and 2010):
+nmake -f Make_mvc.mak GUI=yes CSCOPE=yes XPM=E:\HG\xpm\x64
+
+To test, open some file in Vim and execute commands below:
+:exe 'sign define vimxpm icon='.$VIMRUNTIME.'\\vim32x32.xpm'
+:exe 'sign place 1 line=1 name=vimxpm file='.expand('%:p')
