Hi Olly - back on your message from January 2018:

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2018-01/msg00007.html

    I found I needed the two attached patches to build Xapian
    (https://xapian.org) on Windows.

The first patch was already applied some time ago.

    The second patch is only needed when using libtool, but should
    be harmless when not.

I agree. Belatedly applied, sorry for the crazy delay. Thanks.
(And thanks to Bogdan for unearthing this from the archives.)

Thanks - better late than never!

Also of likely interest to anyone aiming to support MSVC on autotools
is a patch for libtool to fix a deprecation warning on every DLL link,
which I also originally submitted back in January 2018 and which you've
just prompted me to resubmit:

Cheers,
    Olly
