Ok, got it -- I had been running in cygwin/rxvt (but without the
visual studio env vars), and had some artifacts from there.  Untarring
from the source tree again and doing it in a cmd.exe shell ala
vcvars.bat seemed to do the trick (while also tweaking config/Makefile
a bit more).

Thanks everyone!
