Weldon, would you please help to commit it? Thanks,


build and build test pass on Linux but fail on win32.  The problem is tests
that really have nothing to do with gcv5.  testGetenv and test_Joinlongint
are failing.  I will post a message asking if it is OK to commit any
changes.  Somewhere I recall reading that no changes should be committed if
build test is failing.
