Hi Eli,

A couple of days ago, I screwed up my build environment by mistake,
and since currently we cannot create such environment automatically
(with the "mingw-get" package manager), because of the
incompatibilities you pointed out, I've had to re-create the MinGW
environment via the "manual" method.  And I've _almost_ succeeded  :),
but "make bootstrap" fails at some point after dumping "temacs.exe".

The last messages from "make bootstrap" are below.  I've been
searching the internet looking for one solution, but I've failed so
far.  Perhaps you could help me out.  TIA.

Emacs will not function correctly without the character map files.

Please check your installation!
