Oh...Sorry, I did not realize there was that much dependency on where
the source was located.

Since Win-anything tends to like to install everything and anything to C:
and then trash the system partition when it feels like it, I do my best
to install projects and programs to other drives/partitions.  The one nice
thing about NT is you can rearrange drive letters on the fly. :)
I swapped drive letters and did a make clean and then a make distribution
and now it builds.  Can a note about this be placed in the src/readme.txt?

If you can tell me what to look for to clean this up, I'd be more than
happy to start looking at the makefiles.
