Hi John,
Sorry for the delay in replying here. I've finally gotten around to
re-creating my build environment from scratch (as I do prior to every
CouchDB release) and have the build running successfully as of a few
hours ago.

Correct, I will be checking in a fix for this tomorrow.

Yes, there is a setup mistake here that I will correct tomorrow as
well. You can work around this in your environment by running:
choco install make
and trying again.

geocouch won't work for CouchDB 2.x anyway as far as I know. You
really should use the Cloudant geo stuff from:
https://github.com/cloudant-labs/easton
https://github.com/cloudant-labs/hastings
Build instructions haven't yet been posted, but the process is
similar to the build process for dreyfus (full-text search):

Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
