IIRC, I added a platform-specific patch last June to map realclean to the
appropriate "unconfigure" targets in various makefiles for peer modules:

Do I still need to dive down and trigger that manually, or does that
mechanism need to be hooked up for the expat dependency?

Oh. The prior abi makefiles had dependencies to run ./configure for
supported peer modules as needed, so I wasn't expecting to have to do this
manually.
The current process for building abi is to download all the required
modules, type make in the abi directory, and everything Just Builds. That's
admirably simple, and I'd expected something similarly easy for any autoconf
replacement:

Are you expecting that people will have to manually run configure in each of
the required modules? Ick.

Nope. Manually running configure did create a libtool script, but that just
created more problems. I'll try upgrading from B19.

OK, thanks. It just sounded pretty Unix-centric, so I wasn't sure I was
triggering the Win32 variants of the tools.
