Fails to build under Win98...

After a protracted absence, I'm checking out Abiword under win98 again :)
I've been hearing some great things over the list...

Unfortunately, it's not building...
First, since it's been a while, I did a complete delete of all sub dirs
(abi, js, etc) and did the standard cvs checkout

Perhaps (due to my lack of input) certain targets aren't being included?

BTW, using the (I believe) latest version of Cygnus... with MSVC

OS_NAME = CYGWIN_98-4.10
OS_RELEASE = 20.1 (0.3/1/1)
OS_ARCH = i586
