OK, that's good news.

build_unix/db.h is created from include/db.src, by autoconf. You
can copy db.src to the build_win32 directory and replace every
occurrance of @something@ with the appropriate value, if you want.
There might be some easy way to do this on Windows, but I have no
idea.

OK. I'm sure there must be a simple way around this, but I don't
know what it is.

Ditto. We should be able to handle this in the config-win.h file
if we do things right.

OK. Who knew it?

Yes, I think it is. As you can tell, I'm not very intimate with
the Windows development.
