Did some tests with it while was in Latvia for Easter time

Problems
========

1) /dev/env/DJDIR/include instead of DOS style directory for include
   file dependencies.

2) ICE (segmentation fault) building one file from glibmm-2.3.8. Similar 
   problem in one of my sources (running gcc in a different way workarounds
   the problem). Also ICE for 4 files, when building cln-1.1.6. 

3) Had problems in my sources with declaring binary operators << and *
   involving my template class as friends of this class. Rewrote code
   without friend declarations (member function instead for <<, static
   member function which performs *, leaving binary operators as 
   inline functions which only calls member functions.


Packages built (tests under Windows XP)
=======================================

C:
==

gdb-6.1            builds without problems. Seems to work Ok. Had to modify
		   bfdsymify.c to build it. No changes needed for GDB itself.

glib-2.4.0         builds without problems. The number of test failures (5)
                   is the same as with gcc-3.3.3. Also patches which I applied
                   are the same.

libxml2-2.6.8      Builds without problems (some patches needed, same as for 
                   gcc-3.3.3)

C++:
====

libsigc++-1.9.16   builds without problems, all tests passes

glibmm-2.3.8       ICE (segmentation fault) compiling glib/glibmm/shell.cc 
                   when make invoked not directly in that directory, but 
                   from top level or glib/. If running make 
                   in glib/glibmm/shell.cc, then there is no ICE. 
                   Other stuff builds Ok

libxml++-2.5.2     builds without problems. Test examples seem to work OK.

cln-1.1.6	   4 ICE (segfaults in GCC). Can be workarounded by changing
                   order of include files. After that all included tests 
                   passes.

GiNaC-1.2.0	   Builds OK. Some test failures, partialy due to use of
                   cmp for comparisson of text files. Not all tests performed, 
	 	   as some of them were terribly slow.
