Thanks Michael.

I can't track down MinGW-2.0.x version so I am forced to use the 3.1
version.  SF doesn't have it listed anymore.  It doesn't work even you find
an exactly link from google.  Maybe we can figure out what problems are
arising with the new 3.1 version and document it so it works.

I thought I would pursue a different track.  I downloaded MinSYS and
installed it.  The part that I don't understand is during the install of
MinSYS it was happy that I didn't have "Make" installed.  MinSYS is supposed
to provide you an env to build applications that use Make.  Anyhow I still
have cygwin installed that has the version of make that is supposed to work.

I can compile wxWindows without any errors.  I was also able to successfully
compile minimal, taskbar, and shaped sample applications.  Hopefully that
means wxwindows section is working OK.

I thought compiling the wx client would be a good place to start.  I removed
the iaxc_set_encode_format(...) line with Steve's advice.

I am getting an wx-config: command not found error, and also gtk-config
command not found.  I have the WXWIN variable set:

$ set | grep WX
WXWIN=c:/wxwindows-2.4.2
