I have ported rcs-5.7 to gnu-win32 b18.

Build procedure

1.  Apply patches below to rcs-5.7 source tree
2.  In rcs-5.7 directory
      ./configure
      make
      (cd man; make install)
      (cd src; make x=.exe install) 
3.  To check installation
      get a working "who am i" command
      make installcheck
    NOTE: Two tests are dissabled.  I think the problems are in
          the test routine rather than with rcs.

What I did

1.  configure had problems with "diff3 file1 file2 /dev/null"
    This is a gnu-win32 problem

2.  The patch to src/rcslex.c is an rcs bug

3.  I think the problem with rcstest is a gnu-win32 bug
