Checked in.

No.

Because

	1) we have different "config.h" files, due to having different
	   configure scripts

and

	2) when building on Windows, we generate the "config.h" files by
	   copying the appropriate "config.h.win32" files to them, as
	   opposed to UNIX where they're generated by the configure
	   script.

Perhaps we could get away with not having separate configure scripts for
the subdirectories, but I wouldn't assume that to be the case (I think
there *are* reasons for separate configure scripts, but I don't remember
what they are).
