yes. unless your gcc comes with cygwin. in this case you have your
enviroment equipped with autoconf tools and you can use "normal" way to
configure and build gnokii. we'll probably need separate directory for each
commercial compiler, but until there is noone who cares i don't see any
reason to do it now. (not mentioning that windows users ussually care
only about binaries and gui programs which you're going to offer them :))
(and not mentioning that gnokii compiles under Borland C++ Builder :))

i deteled missleading parts from README-WIN32 yesterday and pushed in
some patches (including your last one). files are not in their final
locations yet (because of cvs "limited features" :))
