To no success, I've tried mimicking how the build works on appveyor, I've tried "make prebuilt" using the MinGW/msys environment invoked from the developer command prompt, and I've tried to build using a slightly modified misc/vc2012.bat (since I used the developer command prompt, I just removed the call to vcvarsall.bat).  I have too many failed build logs to include in this email, and I can't deduce what I'm doing wrong.

Sorry, Bill; I have not succeeded. I'll post if I get it working (but don't be surprised if I don't; some other work is ahead of it in priority right now).
