It looks like this patch *did* introduce a new bug while fixing the
static compilation: "make check" now fails on the -deploy test, with
an error that libchicken.dll can't be copied.

That file doesn't get generated (any more?), but for some reason there
was a file by that name in my checkout on the Windows VM that I was
using.  I ran into this problem while deploying in a Vista VM while
looking into another bug, where that file didn't exist yet.

Here's another horrible patch to fix this problem.

Cheers,
Peter
