Thank you Tony, it worked!

The following is for the attention of the geda guys:

Att. PCB Windows build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks to Tony Theodore from the MXE project PCB's git checkout now
builds without a hitch a windows executable. <http://mxe.cc/> is an
impressive cross platform build solution and I recommend that it would
be considered as an alternative to minipack.

Most of us here, if not Windows users ourselves, have coworkers/clients
who would not accept anything but a Windows solution. I believe that
using MXE we would be able to maintain a better version sync between
Linux and Windows.

By the way, I am building my MXE stuff using this script 
(-: which I call wean :-)

Apologies for this cross posting but I hope that in this case it is
justified.

Sincerely, Enoch.
