There is a real sucky problem that will especially affect new Windows
libreoffice developers, namely *real* early there is a big fat build
failure. I came across this as I completely started from scratch
creating a build environment [*] ( as I managed to bork my windows xp
installation ) Attached is a patch, probably there is a better way to do
this but I don't really have a clue about autoconf/configure type stuff
and this fix was the easiest for me. It would be great to get this into
3.5 branch and this is what we specifically point windows people to ( on
the list and irc anyway ).
Note: I didn't attach the generated ( but still under git ) configure a
my autoconf is 1.68 and the previous version used to produce configure
was 1.62. I guess it's not so bad I shouldn't push to master anyway right?

[*] btw this was a great opportunity to check out the instructions at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Windows_Build_Dependencies which
I found to be spot on. Ok I have some experience building libreoffice on
windows and I used the non-free compiler but really I found those
instructions quite good and accurate
