This could be a totally different problem.  One reason might be that you 
don't have the sh.exe symlink to bash.exe.  Another possibility is that 
your TMPDIR environmenet variable is undefined, or points to a 
non-existent directory.

configure scripts needs some tweaking before they run on DOS/Windows.  In 
particular, you need to set PATH_SEPARTOR=: and PATH_EXPAND=y before you 
run the script.  Another change is to replace "test -f prog" with "test 
-x prog", since on DOS/Windows the file is actually prog.exe (test -x 
knows that, but test -f doesn't).
