OK, if you are satisfied about how things work now, I guess it is not
worth trying it after all. I agree that the .bat file solution is
simple enough.

I thought it would be present by default in the build tools.

Is is now. I ran the libiconv and gettext installers. However, when I now configure 1.3.x without --with-included-gettext, the tests for gettext fail:

#include <libintl.h>
extern int _nl_msg_cat_cntr;
int
main ()
{
bindtextdomain ("", "");
return (int) gettext ("") + _nl_msg_cat_cntr
  ;
  return 0;
}

$ gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -Wl,--export-all-symbols conftest.c -lm -lintl -li
conv
C:/DOCUME~1/Angus/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccwjbaaa.o: In function `main':
J:/MinSYS/home/Angus/lyx/13x/build/conftest.c:7: undefined reference to `_nl_msg_cat_cntr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

No less a person than Bruno Haible explains here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2001-05/msg00339.html
that the gettext-0.10.35 m4 macros are at fault.

I propose not to persue this further as I understand you use gettext-0.13 in the 1.4.x tree and things work well enough --with-included-gettext in teh 1.3.x tree.
