Regarding the two changesets below

I can push these changes, but don't know enough about the build process to have 
any confidence that these changes will not an adverse effect unix or windows 
builds.

Also, in the first, is the patch to Makefile.am the right way to do that? (I 
really don' t know, but it looks a bit hacky to me).

Anyone have some advice/thoughts?
