I did that in my cvs wine directory, and all I got was

Aha. Caught by internationalization. The workaround is
LANG=C
export LANG
./tools/winapi/msvcmaker --no-wine
I guess the FAQ needs updating... or the tool needs fixing...
I suspect the easiest "fix" would be to wrap msvcmaker with
LANG=C
export LANG
BTW, this is only one of many things that breaks when non-C locales are used.
Others I know of:
* 'man' when displayed in xterm or konsole (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75089
where Red Hat says they will not support xterm, and also
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75642)
* all text processing utils are 10x or more slower (makes it hard
to grep through large log files)
* sort gives nonintuitive results (not a bug, just very suprising)
