You're right.  After applying my patch, you should do "autoreconf 
--install".  I'd left this out of my instructions (along with actually 
applying the patch) since I presume Graydon will do this if/when he 
applies my patch, making it unnecessary.  Additionally, it probably 
requires installation of the msys developer's pack from mingw.org

Thanks, I'll update my instructions.  There's a couple of extra patches 
which I have in the meantime, which get most of the integration tests 
working - I'll send extra patches together with a new version of the 
instructions once I'm done with that.
