Yeah, but the intermediates are not necessary.  My patch calls, similarly,

~    perl mkconfig.pl

where a simple

~    ./mkconfig

used to be called.  Since there is no mkconfig file distributed or
checked in, my patch should sync what we are generating.  It also has
the advantage or simplifying by removing the unneeded intermediates.

Regardless, I think you have answered my question.  I will commit the
change and your previous build process should still suffice.

Have you thought about putting the `perl mkconfig.pl' and `perl
fix-msvc-mak.pl' calls into the MSVC build files (is that even
possible with fix-msvc-mak.pl?)?  It's always nice to encode our build
knowledge into automation when possible.
