The problem here is that there's no real dependency checking (at least) 
on the Win32 build. So everytime some header file (or whatever else) 
changes, the files that are not rebuild make problems. Unfortunately, 
there's no easy way to change this, so everytime if you're running into 
strange problems, it's a good idea to try a distclean - especially if 
you did an svn update. Yes, I've noticed before that it's time consuming ;-)

BTW: the buildbot is running a distclean for every run - or to be more 
precise, it's cleaning up the whole dir and do a "clean checkout" of the 
svn code.
