Yes - if either msvcr80.dll, libxml2.dll, or libiconv.dll cannot be found, I 
get a pop-up telling me so.

Bingo - that's it !!

Hidden away in the lib folder of this pre-compiled package I found a 
libxml2.dll.manifest, which I then embedded into the libxml2.dll using 
mt.exe - and 'nmake test' now succeeds, passing all tests. There was no 
manifest for the iconv dll, but apparently it doesn't need it. (Perhaps the 
manifest is already embedded in it.)

Thanks again, Jan.

Cheers,
Rob
