packaging/win32/install.sh fails with wget error

[Randy Galbraith]

Hi Everyone,

Likely not the best fix, but I was able to work around this issue by
copying several .dll files into tools/bin. Here is some terminal output
showing what was copied...

$ ls *.dll
exchndl.dll  msys-crypto-1.0.0.dll  msys-iconv-2.dll  msys-intl-8.dll
msys-ssl-1.0.0.dll  unzip32.dll

and from where...

$ find . -name  msys-iconv-2.dll
./MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/msys-iconv-2.dll
./tools/bin/msys-iconv-2.dll

This got be a bit further, then I ran into an issue with libpthread-2,
whereupon I followed this advice..

* Edit file $INSTALLER_DIR/install-impl.sh and comment out the following:
        if [ "$CROSS_COMPILE" != "yes" ]; then
            # Some preparation steps, only for native (non-cross-compile)
           cp ${_MINGW_UDIR}/bin/libpthread-2.dll
${_MINGW_UDIR}/bin/pthreadGC2.dll
        fi

found here:
http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/attachments/20130402/d8b7f791/attachment.obj

which takes me to my current issue:
"HAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC" redefined when compiling eval.x...

here is the last the output:
./guile-snarf -o eval.x eval.c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -I.. -I..

Any and all advice and encouragement appreciated.  I'll try and get
back with the results further research.

Cheers,
