Okay, thanks. That works. Using 4.2.1-sjlj. First successful build with
1.0.11 for me after about 3 clean installs. Seems like there has been quite
a few changes in the build process. The HOWTO definitely needs an update.


   - Use 4.2.1, 4.3.0 bombs the executables
   - Install yasm for xvidcore and for building x264
   - And I had to use a few prebuilt binaries off of
   gnuwin32.sourceforge.net that I had trouble building in MingW. Can't
   remember now. But I think it was libpng, and I think I used their GAWK. But
   in general if you have a problem building one of the sources listed on the
   HOWTO, look at gnuwin32.sourceforge.net for a prebuilt binary.
   - Need to use GIT to download x264 now.
