Subject: more Win32 build problems

I've run into a couple snags trying to build AbiWord on Win32. Hopefully
somebody out there will have some insight, cuz I'm just about out of ideas.
I've done all my work with freshly checked out copies of the source, using
the latest cygnus package I could get (I get "1.1.2(0.21/3/2)" from
'uname -r').
For starters, the autoconf stuff in the libiconv and wv directories has
problems. The only way I could get those libs to build was by opening some
of the files (configure, config.sub, config.guess, ltconfig) in a text
editor and saving them in "unix mode" (you know what I mean; a more
intelligent sounding explanation escapes me at the moment. :P ) The same
four files in both directories needed to be converted, but none of the files
in the other directories had problems. Is this something to do with the
newer cygnus package? I've compiled everything successfully in the past
with older cygnus packages (b20, specifically). Is is possibly a problem
with my CVS settings or the files in themeselves in CVS? I have no idea
what the problem is, unfortunately, though at least I've found a solution.
The second problem is with 'make distribution'. It dies with the
following error:
sed -e 's|__GRAPHICNAME__|setup.png|g'

I'm totally clueless as to what's going wrong here, thought thankfully I
don't really need an installation package at the moment. :)
I should be able to get some development done even with things in their
current state, but I was hoping somebody else would have some insight into
what's going on.
Thanks
