* target.make (SHARED_LIB_LINK_CMD): On MinGW, pass
--export-all-symbols to the linker. This fixes building
gnustep-base on MinGW with more recent libraries.
* Documentation/README.MinGW: Updated instructions to work with
more recent versions - up to building gnustep-base.

If you want to install GNUstep from Subversion, you need a Subversion
client. I used
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/35379/svn-1.4.2-setup.exe
and then installed subversion in a random directory. Then you can run
svn.exe from the MS-DOS console (or the MSYS one).

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-23.1-bin-i386.zip. To
install it, simply unpack it in your home directory, you can now
execute the binary in 'bin'.
6. Obtaining GNUstep
6. Installing pthreads
======================
GNUstep-base now requires a pthreads API. So you'll have to get one

may not be necessary).

libtoolT during configure).
You should now have libxml2 installed on your system.
IMPORTANT: Do *not* install libxslt. It has been reported that
libxslt is currently built in the wrong way and will prevent anything
from linking correctly if you try to use it.
