If only automake-1.6 would be needed, MSYS had to do fine after executing 
autogen.sh
(correct me when i am wrong here)

BTW: autogen.sh does not 'touch' \board3d\makefile.in

Configure does not find GTK+ 1.3 (pkg_config), nor Freetype 6.

Make generates the .gmo files in \po, libevent.a is created in \lib.
For \doc it tells 'missing makeinfo' (although makeinfo.exe is available).
Readline support messes up with languages and Python is detected in Configure, 
but
not found by Make causing it to exit.

I was looking forward to see how you did with the GUI version (with GTK+ 1.3).

If there is any chance telling what you did, I would appreciate it.
