I changed the top level denemo.make to 
DENEMO_BRANCH="mingw"

and tried make denemo again, and it succeeded in making an installer.
This runs on windows - it is version rc7 I see that is the version on
the mingw branch. 

>From what you say though, it will it not update even if I merge the
changes on master into the branch as the .tar.gz filename for the
snapshot will be the same after update? Or am I completely wrong here -
you said something about gub not running autogen.sh ...

I just changed DENEMO_BRANCH="mingw" back to "master" and the installer
failed as before. It does this without downloading denemo or anything I
guess this is to do with the messages
package of branch: git.savannah.gnu.org--denemo.git-mingw, expecting:
git.savannah.gnu.org--denemo.git-master

So I guess having denemo.make DENEMO_BRANCH="mingw" inconsistent with
denemo.py branch = 'mingw' is a no-no.

If you get a chance can you upgrade the branch mingw to have all the
latest features from master? I presume there is stuff on master which
must not be merged, to do with building normally?
