Windows XP SP3 32-bit on a VirtualBox instance on FreeBSD, underlying
filesystem is ZFS which does cause I/O slowdown, but not enough to explain
this.

Can't remember what compiler I installed; there are Windows SDK 7 and
Visual Studio 9 directories.

SDK_PATH="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0"
./configure --with-frame-home="$SDK_PATH" --with-psdk-home="$SDK_PATH"
--with-midl-path="$SDK_PATH/bin"
--with-ant-home="/cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.9.6" --with-dmake-url="
http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2";
--with-epm-url="http://www.msweet.org/files/project2/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz";
--enable-pch --disable-atl --disable-activex --without-junit
--with-cl-home="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC"
--with-csc-path="/cygdrive/c/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v3.5"
--with-jdk-home="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0" --disable-directx
--with-package-format="installed" --enable-wiki-publisher

I am currently thinking we will gain more from porting to Java, than trying
to maintain a build system for the buggy, leaky, complex, crash-prone,
insecure languages that are C/C++.
