  By way of substantiating my claim that I did get the package to build
at least once using djgpp under windows95, I zipped up the stuff I have
running and left it here:

           http://www.autobahn.org/~billh/my-precc.zip

(I also took the occasion to recompile the texinfo package, only making
the default value of the variable visible_bell = ON for `info'; I left a
copy of the resulting `info.exe' in the file `nobeep.zip' in the same
directory.)

  The other thing I wanted to say was that the successful build which I
am unable to replicate occurred after several intense hours of
successively trying various combinations of parameters, but that when I
eventually lucked out and hit a winning combination, all I had to do was
say "make".

   Meanwhile I will see what I can get out of the autoconfig docs.

   For want of a nail.

   Thank you.
