In my opinion, it's not really an issue out out of date tools--for both 
John T and me, we had the latest versions available for our OSes. The 
real issue seems to be that the autoconf prerequisites are too high for 
no apparent reason (maybe someone with better knowledge of autoconf can 
confirm).

The "HAVE_ERRNO" and "HAVE_ERRNO_H" mess is partially fixed by this 
patch, but still some code is not compiled on Windows and recent 
versions of MSVC (nothing major, but there's an unused variable and in a 
couple of places the older CRT functions are called rather than the 
secure versions). I'm going to scour through the code and fix those.

Regards,
Martin
