so: building on w32 is (like always) a bit more complicated than in the
rest of the world.
afaics, there are several problems we are facing right now:

- - the autobuild currently fails with "libtool: link: only absolute
run-paths are allowed"; according to a bit of googling, it seems like
this is indeed a problem with "prefix" not being an absolute path. would
it do any harm, to set PREFIX to a(n absolute) value, rather than set it
to ""?

- - my builds currently don't produce .dll's, mainly because of unresolved
symbols; either we have to add "-no-undefined" to the LDFLAGS on w32, or
we need some more explicit linking (against pd.lib), to resolve all
those symbols. i'm just waiting for the build to finish, to see whether
the former (and simpler solution) is sufficient.

- - with my builds (in msys), i currently have to exclude scopeXYZ~.cpp,
as the tilde in the filename confuses libtool, producing illegal
commands and thus fails the build process. otoh, it seems like this
works fine in the autobuilds, so it might be simply a problem of msys
itself.
