With that cast applied, I can build working 21.5 XEmacsen on Windows,
both native (using VC6) and cygwin (using gcc).  These XEmacsen have
the highly desirable property of avoiding the dreaded "File not found
and directory write-protected" error.  If it's OK with you, Benson and
Stephen, I will generate a superseding patch and send it to
xemacs-patches.

VC6 + SDK is another story.  After regenerating unicode-encapsulate,
here are the errors I'm getting:

intl-encap-win32.c

Stop.

Benson - as far as VC6+SDK goes, if there are avenues you want me to
pursue, I will, but left to my own devices, I will probably not pursue
this matter any further. Thanks for fixing this longstanding wart in
XEmacs, Benson.
