I haven't done anything specific with Windows yet...  or, quite
frankly, checked it very much...  My focus has been mainly on Unix and
VMS.  I do have some start of a makefile for Windows as well, but it's
just that, as start.

dragon> 825.

This surprises me a bit, but we've had some issues surrounding this
very target in master as well...  it came down to Configure being a
bit petty and has been changed accordingly, but my branch hasn't been
rebased on the freshest master yet, so the fix hasn't propagated to my
branch yet.  I'm going to deal with that tomorrow and will make sure
to verify the usual Windows configs then.

Cheers,
Richard
