I decided not to bother for now, since building a binary on XP does
not mean it will not have to run on Vista.  Only the user who builds
the binary knows whether she will or won't copy the package to a Vista
machine later on.  Since enabling SYSTEM_MALLOC is a build-time option
(and doing that dynamically at run time, which is TRT, will have to
wait for another rainy day), I decided for now to add a cheaper
band-aid: there's a new option --with-system-malloc to the config.bat
batch file, which will set up things for using SYSTEM_MALLOC.  This
change is already in CVS.
