The w32 build is currently broken, since addition of files from gnulib
and the change of directory structure that involved were not accounted
for in the Windows makefiles.  If you can fix that the right way,
please do; if not, someone else will in a few days.

You shouldn't need to say "make bootstrap" after the the first such
command fails.  Just "make" should do.  (But I only tried that on
GNU/Linux, so perhaps there's some bug in the Windows build procedure
that breaks this.)
