Sure - If you look carefully at the instructions, you'll find that we
actually do not use the auto tools (./configure and the like) on
Windows. You will need to delete your source tree and unzip a new copy
- ./configure overwrites the makefiles we use for Windows compilation
righ tnow.

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, SMTP problems here with outgoing mail.
