This looks good.

Distcheck fails on MinGW because it builds the 'dvi' target, and there
are postscript tools missing; pdftops and ps2eps. pdftops is available
from SourceForge GnuWin, but I could not find ps2eps.

I've never run 'distcheck' before; only 'all' or 'check'; neither builds
the 'dvi' target.

If I comment out the 'dvi' line from the distcheck target, it runs thru
(actually, it's running 'check' now; takes about an hour).

I can't see in the Makefile magic where the distcheck target comes from,
so I don't see how to delete the dvi properly.

I also don't see how to add the dvi to all-am. 

This appears to be a bug in the autotools; they should include dvi in
all-am if it is in distcheck!

I could build with Cygwin in the path after MinGW (Cygwin has ps2eps),
but that seems like cheating.

I've put a comment about this in INSTALL; that will have to do for now.
