 [Kelly F. Hickel] Well, I did put it in my second email message in this
thread (without the comparative timings admittedly) ......

Of course, the initial post was more about why can't I build this stuff
on windows, which I still don't understand, since I had to add a bunch
of wide character stuff to build 1.12.12 or 1.12.13.

Since 1.11 exhibits the same behavior, and doesn't seem to have a
problem with local repo's (see thread on info-cvs, I think 1.12.13 is
broken in this regard), I'm quantifying 1.11.21 instead....
