Subject: Two problems of building Emacs on windows

I have two problems building Emacs (the unicode-2 branch) on Windows,
described below.
1. On missing of some subr's documentations.
Here is the error when I require help information about some subrs:
C-h f string RET
==> string is a built-in function in `C source code'.
[Missing arglist. Please make a bug report.]
Not documented.
In fact, all subr's in character.c miss their documentations. Well, I
do not know whether this problem exists before, but adding
`character.o' to the definition of the `obj' variable in
nt\makefile.w32-in solves this. (I did not check whether other files
are missing though.)
2. On `buildobj.lst'.
Because the different building directories arrangement on Windows,
`buildobj.lst' can't be found correctly when the executable emacs.exe
is dumped. It is in the `etc' directory on GNU/Linux for example, but
not there on Windows. In my building, it is in `src/oo-spd/i386'. To
fix the errors in dumping, I did these manually:
- Copy the file `buildobj.lst' from `$(OBJDIR)/$(ARCH)' to
`$(OBJDIR)/etc'.
- Create the directory `$(OBJDIR)/lib-src'. This will make Emacs
set `installation-directory' to where it is invoked when dumping
(i.e. `$(OBJDIR)/etc', but rather `c:/emacs/etc' in nt/paths.h).
See also `init_cmdargs' in emacs.c.
I guess the makefiles need fixing.
Regards,
Guanpeng Xu
