Windows native build failure

[Vin Shelton]

Thanks, Aidan.

After updating to the latest CVS, I'm now getting a link error:

        link.exe @c:\DOCUME~1\vshelton\LOCALS~1\Temp\nmb02264.
general.obj: error LNK2005: _Qfinal already defined in mule-charset.obj
e:\cygwin\usr\local\src\xemacs-21.5-2006-11-06\src\temacs.exe : fatal
error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
NMAKE: fatal error U1077: 'link.exe' : return code '0x491'
Stop.

Thank you,
  Vin
