Re: Win32 build error: your apparent username (name) is unknown to this system

[Derek Robert Price]

We've known about this for a month or three.  The 1.11.2 source finds 
the wrong options.h under Windows.  I've been solving this by moving all 
the options into windows-NT/config.h and configure.in respectively. 
I've made it through most of it but I still have one or two issues to 
solve before the 1.11.3 release.  Nice to know the changes are working. 
I hadn't gotten around to testing them under Windows yet.

I don't know what's right any longer!  You have to think for both of us - for
all of us!
