I'm asking because so far, all of the gnucash developers come from a 
Linux/Unix background and Windows is always only foreign country for us. 
Hence, any instructions on how to avoid pitfalls just as those which just 
happened would be of great help for us. Namely:

Is there an easy way to "check the PE headers" of the exes so that they are 
correct? Is this even possible through a command-line call to some program, 
so that it could be done automatically during the build in the install.sh 
script?

Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated. If possible for you, 
could you try out the install.sh build process as described here 
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#Instructions_for_an_.28almost.29_automated_build . 
In case you have any suggestions for improving this script, we'd happily 
include any patches or changes there.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards,

Christian Stimming
