I've never actually used miktex, so I can't speak about it.

But two files that are generated during ./configure (in each doc) are:

- version.tex.  A very simple file, containing two version numbers:

\def\oscarversion{4.1b1r2848}
\def\docsversion{4.1b1r2848}

- notes.tex: A file that simply includes all the [install.tex|user.tex] from each of the packages that has one. For example:

-----
\section{Package-Specific Installation Notes}
\label{sec:pkg-specific-notes}

The following sections provide package-specific notes regarding
installation.

\input{../../packages/disable-services/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/hdf5/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/kernel_picker/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/lam/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/maui/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/networking/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/ntpconfig/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/opium/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/pfilter/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/sis/doc/install.tex}
\input{../../packages/switcher/doc/install.tex}
-----

You can easily generate these files by hand, or run "configure" on a linux box and take the generated .tex files over to your windows box.

Has anyone gotten the user and install guides to "compile" under
Miktex?  I am using WinEdt as a front end to it and I don't think it
is recognising the bits like /oscarversion that I assume get defined
in a makefile or script somewhere.

I don't think it is going to be a trivial thing to get it to work, but
I thought I would ask and see if there was an easy trick I was missing
since I have very little experience with LaTeX and it was all under
Unix.

It would make futtering with the docs a lot easier.
