I have another problem with building under Win32
After adding the files and "sed" to my system (why must we depend on
more and
more additional stuff?) 
the copmiler generates a lot of object files.
But the linker (VC 6.0) complains about a number of unresolved symbols
like
 __imp___errno
it seems, that the linker tries to link the objects against LIBC instead
of
LIBCMT as 0.8.16 did - which I was able to build.
