I don't think the files that are generated by autogen.sh should be in
CVS, but they should be present in the tarballs.

The toplevel Makefile that automake and configure generates contains two
targets that builds a tarball (dist) and automatically checks
(distcheck) it.

When building a tarball with dist or distcheck, you have to first run
configure with "--enable-clients=all", since otherwise the source for
the disabled clients won't be included.

     ./configure --enable-clients=all
     make dist

It doesn't work with the current patch, but needs som minor changes
that I have to fix.

I have sucessfully built Win32 DLLs with the mingw32 cross compiler on
Debian testing. I'm using the following configure command, but I don't
know if any arguments are needed when configured in a regular mingw32
environment.

     CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include" ../configure
--host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--with-wx-config=wxmsw-2.4-i586-mingw32msvc-config --enable-local-speex
  --enable-local-portaudio --enable-local-gsm
