win32 build and test issues

Below are a couple of diffs.

The first is the fix I made in configure - on my W2K machine with the
current MinGW/MSys I was getting the previously reported symlink problem
every time. With the looping patch (yes I *know* it's ugly, and we have
to get to the root of the problem, but I wanted to get past it for now)
it never happened, and builds worked. In any case we should use
something like the last couple of lines at least, to *show* something
went wrong. As we have it now we say we are doing something and not
testing for failure.

The second allows "make check" to proceed to almost the end - you still
need to use the task manager to shut things down.

The regression tests themselves seem to fail for the most part in every
configuration I have tried. The problem seems to be mostly buffering
issues - error messages appear out of order from what is expected. I
have not made sure what passes if we ignore that issue.

cheers
