does expat/libtool combo work on Win32?

Sam et al,

I've just done my first cvs update since last June, and am having problems
right out of the box. This is the same environment I've been using for Abi
development since the beginning -- NT 4.0, VC 5, Cygwin B19.

I thought I'd seen traffic earlier that Win32 command-line builds were
working for expat, so I must be missing something. I did check the build
instructions on the site, but they're pretty clearly out of date. So far,
here's all I can infer from the ultra-cryptic messages:

1. make realclean doesn't
2. libtool may not exist -- where do I get it?
3. the filename doesn't get passed to the compiler
4. why is it building an xmlparse.lo target?

Any suggestions? Sorry for acting like a newbie, but I'm short on time for
learning the necessary automagic stuff.

Thanks,
Paul
