Does it run?  As I recall, the windows-specific makefile has no
install target, mainly because I am not familiar with windows at that
level, and others create windows-specific binaries (e.g.,
<http://www.paneura.com/~dino/wjed.html>).

The reason I ask, is that you will need slsh to be installed to build
the current development version of slrn.  When I find time, I plan to
integrate slrn into my nightly builds, where I also cross-compile
using mingw32.  But that is done on a Unix system and is no substitute
for a proper windows build.  I am more than willing to accept
patches for a windows-specific install target.

You may need to compile using -DSLANG_DLL=1.  As I recall, a dll gets
build under windows, whereas the above assumes a static link.
