There is still the mysterious libintl-11.dll on MinGW. I have not been able to work on this; the MS developer SDK is only available as a DVD image, and I don't have the facilities to burn a DVD. > Folks with exotic systems (non-Linux, non-*BSD) might wanna check what > I did to the configure script, btw.
