There is an additional complexity under Windows. All of the compiler tools that 
come with the mingw (and cygwin) tools use a path virtualisation system to 
ensure that they only ever see valid unix path names. However, binaries built 
under mingw (including oo2c itself) see the raw paths, not virtualised paths. 
Therefore, you need to arrange your directory naming so that the same names 
work for both virtualised and raw paths. Be sure to check the OOC README.WIN32 
file for an explanation of the issues.
