Thanks for fixing that!

Yes, because as the comment says the code is useless since the
configure script already defines u_short etc. The only purpose served
by those defines is to cause further breakage in the future with any
other headers which contain typedefs for u_short/u_long. <shrug>

Under Unix, $(EXEEXT) evaluates to "", under Windows, it evaluates to
".exe". (BTW, it was already used by the 5.3.2 release's configure.in,
I only moved it.)

Great! I updated my CVS repository last night (June 5th, 18:00 UTC)
and it already seemed to have been applied then.

I just successfully compiled the current CVS version both under Linux
and Windows (mingw under Cygwin). I also compiled and linked my
application with the mingw version - everything seems to work fine. 
(The only problem I ran into for mingw was that mingw's make seems
broken, I had to use the Cygwin make.)

I suspect that you did not re-bootstrap everything after applying the
patch. First, ensure you have the latest versions of libtool and
automake. Then:

  cp /usr/share/automake/depcomp config/
  cp /usr/share/automake/missing config/
  libtoolize -c -f
  perl config/winConfigure.pl
  aclocal; autoheader; automake; autoconf

In particular, the config.guess/config.sub in current CVS doesn't seem
to work properly for a i586-pc-mingw32 target. Please ensure the new
libwww release also includes newer versions of all these auto* files!

The Extrnals.html part only output the following strange-looking
messages for me, but it didn't fail:

| perl ../../config/makeindx.pl ../src/ ../src/WWW*.html \
| 	> ./Extrnals.html)

This was with autoconf 2.13, automake 1.4-p4, libtool 1.4.2, perl
5.6.1.

BTW, I'm also the maintainer for the Debian Linux libwww package.

Cheers,

  Richard
