Yes.  Because it is needed to construct a src/gnuwin32/fixed/h/ 
config.h which is consistent with one's installation.  The config.h  
in the sources won't work on my set up because it assumes a load of  
packages which are not installed.  I started with a clean Windows  
2003 Server and installed, MinGW, Msys and the Rtools, nothing else.

I do now have everything built except the CHM documentation.
