 HOW TO BUILD:

   - make
-  - mingw-bzip2

-The following additional packages are required if building from CVS, not from
-a source tarball, or if you want to make changes to the build system.
-  - recent autoconf
-  - recent automake

+The ${arch} needs to be replaced with either "i686" or "x86_64"
