I was about to try that but I was sure some GNUMakefiles were in CVS
and may even have some of them with my changes in them. Thanks to Pat,
make realclean did the trick.

Quite a few things. If I wasn't out of harddrive space I'd
keep a 2nd tree just to see if we can get this working on Windows.
I recall it complaining about __attribute__ keywords in I think

I do hope we can get this working sooner or later. People should
not have to require MSVC to build AbiWord ):
