9 // This file provides a utility for merging Microsoft .manifest files. These
10 // files are xml documents which contain meta-information about applications,
11 // such as whether or not admin access is required, system compatibility,
12 // versions, etc. Part of the linking process of an executable may require
13 // merging several of these .manifest files using a tree-merge following
14 // specific rules. Unfortunately, these rules are not documented well
15 // anywhere. However, a careful investigation of the behavior of the original
16 // Microsoft Manifest Tool (mt.exe) revealed the rules of this merge. As the
17 // saying goes, code is the best documentation, so please look below if you are
18 // interested in the exact merging requirements.
