Would there be any problem with upgrading the autoconf version in the git mingw version to 1.6? I think it''s like 1.59 now. Thanks! -=R

I wonder if building it from straight source would help [?] I should try it out sometime. -=R http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user/22580 mentions some weirdness...
