Just now getting around to testing the CVS version again, but with
the following question...

Forgive me if this is obvious, but what do you mean by "dosbox+MSVC"?
When I use cygnus make, it automatically uses sh.exe (i.e. bash) as
its shell, leading to the quoting problems because the commands are
eventually passed on through to command.com. How do you build on MSVC?

Another thing I noticed is that I left a hard-coded path to the MSVC
LIB directory in the /LIBPATH parameter of variable OD_LIB_AR_RULE in
file config/makefile.msvc-dll. I think this path can be eliminated without
harm from the makefile.
