   Earlier I tried mimicking the way configure is executed for wv, by doing:

CC=cl.exe CONFIG_SHELL=bash.exe bash ./configure --disable-shared --enable-static

   This causes configure to "work", but the resulting Makefile doesn't - the
command line args passed to the compiler are invalid (though I suspect that
they might be valid for gcc), and thus it won't compile.
   And thus my belief that we need a Makefile.abi for libpsiconv that's used
to built it "the Abi way". :)
