This command was introduced in r18781 for MSVC compatibility 
(http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/changeset/18781). It seems pexports is only 
available if MSVC is effectively installed.

I have wrapped pexports in a test in r19042. This should ensure pexports is 
only called when it exists.

I don't have MSVC myself, so it's best someone with MSVC verifies this commit. 
But in any case this change will allow the build on the gnucash build server 
to continue.

This one seems an indirect result of the first error.

The guile build error has exited the install.sh script. The build server is 
apparently configured to start dist.sh after install.sh without checking for 
install.sh's exit code.
As the pcre build step didn't run, dist.sh can't copy the required pcre dll 
and fails as well.
