The weights file (gnubg.weights) is in CVS, check if it was checked out 
correctly, it's a bigger file so maybe it failed?

After a quick search it looks mingw is currently broken with Vista, although 
work arounds may exists...  You could try changing the "PATH=" line in the 
bat file to "PATH=C:\gnu\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2" and see if that 
works.
