I'm building in the Visual C++ Express 9.0 IDE.  I have "configured" it
by inspecting the code and trial and error, coming up with a set of
preprocessor definitions that appears to work.  Here is what that set
currently looks like:

        __WIN32__
        _DEBUG
        _LIB
        _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
        HAVE_STDIO_H
        HAVE_STDLIB_H
        HAVE_STRING_H
        HAVE_CTYPE_H
        HAVE_MEMORY_H
        HAVE_ERRNO_H
        HAVE_ASSERT_H
        error_t=int
        LTDL_OBJDIR=\".\"
        LTDL_SHLIB_EXT=\".dll\"

But let me back up.  I thought I was using libtool 2.2.2.  It turns out
I wasn't.  Now that I am, it seems I have other problems.

In lt__glibc.h, there are symbols HAVE_ARGZ_H and HAVE_WORKING_ARGZ.
Yet, argz.h appears to be included irrespective of them.  Is this
intentional?  (It's a problem here because there is no argz.h.)
