I'm not sure why *this* one is so tough! :) One might wonder "why bother"... and the reason, ultimately, comes down to the fact that some stuff Just Doesn't Work in DJGPP BASH, at least under Windows XP. I'm trying to build wxWidgets/MGL, and it's choking in "configure" when trying to use backticks (and thus spawning a new shell). I seem to recall that is one of the "known issues" with XP (and yes, I'm using the stuff from "beta").
