Ok. I used RAR because the compression is better than standard ZIP (29MB
vs 41MB).

The updated file is available at
http://www.4shared.com/file/59080190/6cf2537d/opencog-win32-deps.html

As for using opencog.org, I tried it before uploading to 4shared, but
the wiki software complained that the file exceeded the maximum limit.

It has a MANIFEST.txt file with the links to the website of each
library. I've also added a LICENSE.txt to the libraries that didn't have
one already.

Done.

Trunk should build just fine, so if you wanna give it a try, go ahead.
The PLN branch, however, seems to have a few issues, still.

I thought about giving it a try when I was working in the win32 port
for the first time. But I haven't managed to find the time yet.

Sure, go ahead. I only uploaded to ~gama because I wanted to test it
internally first.
