I was building on Windows 2000 (not cross compilation) to get the
executable. I was not able to build with out modifying the 'libtool' and
'src/Makefile' as mentioned earlier. With regard to the "REGEX library",
I have the latest "PCRE library" and there is no need for "REGEX lib".
With an older version of "PCRE lib", you need "REGEX lib" as some methods
ex:regexec... are undefined.

I sincerely feel, we need to slightly modify the makefile to support W2K
native build with out using cross compilation. Probably, by have a
conditional definition for
swish_e_LDADD.

with regards,
