Sorry but you'll also want the attached file under the src/ directory as
mingw doesn't have glob and fnmatch... You should probably also disable
the CLN GMP and GINAC build for now as well as atlas. An easy way to do
this without altering the script is to add the lines

atlas3.6.0_WinNT_P4SSE2 Success
gmp-4.1.4 Success
cln-1.1.11 Success
ginac-1.3.3 Success

to the build.log file.
