Ok, I'm looking at this. Apparently you developed patch2 to solve the problem
of not being to make dll's.
I fixed a couple syntax errors in the build script (bash is fussier now?), and
ran prep2. The patch didn't go through cleanly - one reject I think. Then it
quit during the aclocal command, complaining about a missing file (don't have
the error in front of me right now).
I'm really out of my depth in working with autoconf/automake. Is there any way
that you could bring patch2 back to the point where it works again?
