D'oh! I'm on MinGW/MinSYS, where ./configure is still broken and therefore
"make" doesn't work at all in curl's root dir, let alone 'make test". You
were helping me work around this before, but my schedule shifted and I had
to focus more on the problem I was really trying to solve. Maybe sometime
this week I'll start a new thread about that and we can get that issue
knocked out too.

The only way I get to use libcurl right now is with the cd curlXXX/lib &&
make -f makefile.m32

Agreed.

No problem. You guys have really contributed to my effort - it's the least
I can do.
