Now here is an additional problem I encounter with the test programs. 
(It may well be that this is not a real problem, but rather caused by 
the fact that I am not an experienced Windows developer. :-( )

If, after the successful built of the DLL's and the test programs, I go
to the target/pr/tests folder in a DOS box and try to run a test program
by just issuing its name on the command line, say stdio.exe. A window 
pops up saying that the libnspr4.dll is missing.

If I now take the easy way I'm accustomed to
and just copy the libs from target\dist\bin into the tests folder and
then start any program, say stdio.exe,
a window pops up saying "stdio.exe has encountered a problem and needs
to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience". This happens with every 
executable in the tests folder.

This does *not* happen, though, if I copy the precompiled DLL's from
version 4.6 into the tests folder and then run the tests. To show you:

> D:\nspr-4.7.2-build-dir\nspr-4.7.2\target\pr\tests>stdio
> This to standard out
> This to standard err

What am I doing wrong?
