I've built this with MinGW on MS-Windows.  It builds (almost) cleanly
and passes all the tests.

The "almost" part above is because I get the following compilation
warning:

     convert/call_html_perl_function.c: In function 'call_file_id_setting_redirection_file_names':
     convert/call_html_perl_function.c:606:27: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strndup' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
       606 |                         = strndup (file_ret, len);
	   |                           ^~~~~~~
     convert/call_html_perl_function.c:606:27: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strndup'

AFAICT, this is new in this pretest (apologies if I missed it in the
previous pretest).  The link step succeeds, so the function is
available, just its prototype is somehow not visible to the compiler.

I tried including <string.h>, but that didn't help, although the
Gnulib version of strndup is compiled and I see it in libgnu.a, and it
seems to be declared in Gnulib's string.h.  Not sure what am I missing
here.  Any ideas?
