    I have sent this to Jonathan Leffer's mail, but he didn't respond, so I
    think he didn't get. I'm sending it here too...

    Well, I was wrong. When I make these changes the process seems to be
    successful, but informix.dll doesn't get built. I investigated this a little
    more and found that if I comment out lines 642 and 643 in makefile.pl, which
    are:

    #$opts{LD} = "INFORMIXC='\$(FULLPERL) esqlld' " .
    # "ESQLLD='$Config{ld} \$(LDDLFLAGS)' \$(ESQL)";
    maybe this should be changed to:
    $opts{LD} = "INFORMIXC='\$(FULLPERL) esqlld' " .
       "ESQLLD='$Config{ld} \$(LDDLFLAGS)' \$(ESQL)" unless $NTConfiguration;

    then everything is just fine, but the tests fail.
    When running nmake test a window pops-up, which says:
    perl.exe Application Error
    The instruction at 0x280869d7" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory
    could not be "written"

    and in the console I get
    Free to wrong pool 15d33c8 not 80102 at
    E:\Downloads\DBD-Informix-2003.04\blib\lib/DBD/Informix.pm line 180.

    I have no idea what these thing mean.
