Hi Derek,

I'm slow to understand the goal.  I'm coming to the conclusion
what you're trying is eliminate the difference between:

         *** config.h.in, generated by mkconfig:

as opposed to:

         *** config.h.in, generated by mkconfig.pl:

and if that's the case then I believe it's not a Windows or
UNIX issue.  I propose it's an operation difference issue as
follows:

The UNIX make process generates intermediates:

        fix-msvc-mak
        mkconfig

of which "mkconfig" is used later in the build and "fix-msvc-mak"
is built but not used in the build.

Previously I wasn't aware of the existence of the intermediates on
UNIX and of course they don't exist on Windows.  The commands I ran
on both Windows and UNIX are:

        cd ccvs
        perl windows-NT/fix-msvc-mak.pl
        cd windows-NT
        perl mkconfig.pl
        cd ..

which in the case of "mkconfig" will generate:

         *** config.h.in, generated by mkconfig.pl:

when run on either Windows and UNIX.

I believe no patch is required.  I will correct my process now
that I understand why the intermediates exist.

Conrad
