I have the abi, expat, and wv code in peer directories, and went to the abi directory and ran `make`. I obtained the abi code by `cvs checkout abi` today. Here's what I got as a result of `make 2> errors.txt`:

HI John,
Welcome. You've alomst certainly got a stale wv module. Do a
cvs update wv
in your abisource directory and try again. wv has changed enormously
recently and is causing us headaches on Windows. The Linux and freebsd
builds work though.
Cheers
Martin
