What gives you problems?

Basically I followed the instructions in readme.mingw, including the
changes in Gabi's patch. I don't think points 1 to 2.3 require 
elaboration. As for gnome-common, I got version 2.8 from the FTP, and 
like I said before, it has gnome-autogen.sh instead of autogen.sh. I 
changed the lines:

REQUIRED_AUTOCONF_VERSION=${REQUIRED_AUTOCONF_VERSION:-2.53}
REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION=${REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION:-1.4}
REQUIRED_LIBTOOL_VERSION=${REQUIRED_LIBTOOL_VERSION:-1.4.3}

to

REQUIRED_AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.56
REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.7.1
REQUIRED_LIBTOOL_VERSION=1.4e

(This is for the "current" versions of MinGW and MSYS.)

Now, in Pan CVS (with the patch applied) I removed the two lines from 
configure.in and the following lines from top-level makefile.am

@INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE@

DESKTOP_IN_FILES=pan.desktop.in
DESKTOP_FILES=$(DESKTOP_IN_FILES:.desktop.in=.desktop)

             $(DESKTOP_IN_FILES) \
             $(DESKTOP_FILES) \
             intltool-extract.in intltool-merge.in intltool-update.in

Productivitydir = $(datadir)/gnome/apps/Internet
Productivity_DATA = $(DESKTOP_FILES)

I'm not sure if I should've removed all of them, but it seems to work.

I also replaced the .png files with the ones from the tarball, as per 
Gabi's instructions.

That's it, I ran ./autogen.sh in Pan's top-level directory, then make,
waited a while and there it was.
