OK. So I removed emacsclient from the build process and we can move on.

Next error:

nmake does not like the relative path invocation of make-docfile with
forward slashes (makefile.w32-in, l.235)

"../lib-src/$(BLD)/make-docfile" -d . -g $(SOME_MACHINE_OBJECTS) $(obj) > gl-tmp

If I hardcode this to 

"..\\lib-src\\obj\\i386\\make-docfile" -d . -g $(SOME_MACHINE_OBJECTS)
$(obj) > gl-tmp

it works. We might have to use forward slashes here and change BLD accordingly?

Then we get to emacs.c:

I am starting to wonder how Fabrice ever got this to compile. Are all of
these errors due to changes made between his original patch and the
current trunk state?
