Awesome! I'm still looking for that magic touch though. Autoconf is 
always a nebulous area of pain for me...

Win64 is looking much smoother however...

$make clean
$CC=/opt/crosscompilers/win64/bin/x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc ./configure 
--host=x86_64-pc-mingw32 
--prefix=/opt/crosscompilers/win64/x86_64-pc-mingw32/ --disable-server 
--enable-msdblib 
--includedir=/opt/crosscompilers/win64/x86_64-pc-mingw32/include/freetds
$make
...
no -i ../../win32/setup.rc --input-format=rc -o ../../win32/setup.res -O 
coff
/bin/bash: no: command not found

Any insights? I've been looking for some program called 'no', but that's 
a hard word to search for :)
