-#!/usr/bin/env python3
-# Rewrite vcxproj files in *-bundle directories to use direct relative paths
-# to the vendor submodule, removing the dependency on POSIX symlinks.
-#
-# Usage: python3 tools/fix_bundle_vcxproj_paths.py [--dry-run]
-#
-# Before this script the vcxproj paths were:
-#   ..\..\..\..\C\         (4 levels = bundle root, then symlink)
-#   ..\..\..\Common\       (3 levels = bundle CPP, then symlink)
-#   ..\..\Archive\         (2 levels = bundle 7zip, then symlink)
-#
-# After this script (same as versions/zstd bundle):
-#   ..\..\..\..\..\VER\C\                (5 levels = versions/, then vendor)
-#   ..\..\..\..\..\VER\CPP\Common\       (5 levels)
-#   ..\..\..\..\..\VER\CPP\7zip\Archive\ (5 levels)
-#
-# UI\NSIS paths are kept as-is (real bundle files, no symlink needed).
