[ruby-talk:03198] NT build problem, VC 6, ruby 1.4.4

I ran the batch file in ruby1.4.4\win32 that copied a preconfigured config.h
back up one directory level (..\) and then ran nmake from the c:\ruby1.4.4
directory.

A lot of stuff built the first time, but there was also a bazillion lines of
error output.  So I re-ran nmake just to see what had not built the first
time and where it picked up from where it left off.

So here's a compressed version of the output from NMAKE, after one time
through nmake, and the miniruby.exe was successfully built, but not
ruby.exe.  I reran nmake and here is the output, showing why it could not
build ruby.exe. Apparently a required module called conftest is not found,
and yet it is not attempting to build it either.
