A little more info.  The other e-mail was getting too long and I
didn't want this to be missed.

The Windows and Linux make files use a variable from the environment
to figure out where the includes and link libraries for the native API
are located.

You can use this to build from the command line if you are not going
through the ooTest framework.  Originally I had this named:
REXX_BUILD_HOME, but I changed it to OOREXX_BUILD_HOME.

On both Windows and Linux, if you have a normal install of ooRexx,
then things should just work if you build from the command line.

If you only have a build directory and wanted to build the external
binaries from the command line, then you should set OOREXX_BUILD_HOME
in the environment and point it at the top-level directory in the
build tree.

For instance:

C:\home>set OOREXX_BUILD_HOME=C:\work.ooRexx\3.x\main

There are some enhancements to this that can be done, but I am going
to wait until I implement the -Dname=value option on the command line
to testOORexx.  For instance, you could tell the automated test to
quit if the build fails.  Or, on Windows, do a non-debug build.
