There is no need to "build" the Windows32 API Library; all you want to do is
install the headers.  If you are having trouble running the Unix configure
program then try running configure.bat which uses the NT command shell.  If
that gets you nowhere then you can always just copy the header files to your
system include directory.

This is the reason (or one of them) that I wrote the Windows32 API Library
because the Microsoft ones are not GCC friendly.
