it'd probably be more correct to say that i've gone thru those
nasty hacks so that i can compile abiword.exe on a non-c drive,
but haven't had time/desire/motivation to hack all the way thru
the build process and include the parts used by the setup program.
sorry.
can you get it to compile everything if you build it on your c drive ??
