Thank you.  I have been trying to figure out a way to fix this problem on
Windows that would not break the build on other platforms since yesterday.
It looks like your patch will do the trick.  If this patch fixes make
bootstrap on Windows without breaking the build on Gnu/Linux, I will apply
your patch tonight.

In the future, when submitting a patch by including the text within your
email message, could you tag the beginning and the end of the patch as
follows:
<patch>
Contents of patch file
</patch>

This is important, especially in those cases in which the patch file has
leading or trailing blank lines.
