Just from 'scratch' I installed MSYS, MinGW and the packages used by GNU
Backgammon (but GTK+ 2.09 for Win32).
The resulting config.h and makefile were reasonable.
But (yes: big but) then I started 'fine tuning it'.
And the moment I could just run 'autogen - configure' as *nix users do (and
gnubg.exe was compiled) I lost track of my 'fine tuning'.

So I started again, this time with GTK+ 1.3. No, not good combination that
one (or bad fine tuning?? ;-))

I will start again from scratch keeping one eye on my incomplete tuning
notes... but I would like to do it with GTK+ 2.2 (and MinGW 2).
