Thanks.  However, the makefile.w32-in files, configure.bat, and the
related files are deprecated; you are encouraged to switch to the
Posix build system described in nt/INSTALL.MSYS.  For that reason, I'd
prefer not to invest any effort in maintaining, let alone improving,
the deprecated scripts, unless you or someone else who wants to use
them will take full responsibility for maintaining them, reviewing
patches, solving problems, etc.  (I think this would be a waste of
resources even in that case, but I won't fight people who have enough
motivation to do that.)
