while this might seem annoying and offputting to you, it is really just
a very basic and common git workflow.

if you cloned via git, you already have it:

$ git checkout mingw-autotools-nolibdir

(on the URL that lucas posted, you can also download the entire branch
as a ZIP-file; but really: getting used to git and using it pays off
endlessly)

Yes I got it, I didn't realize it was in a different branch. And I keep running out of time :(

+ make app

Now the 'make app' command produces the pd-.0.48.1 directory with pd.exe inside it but nothing happens if I run that file -- no errors, no messages, just returns to the prompt. So I suppose I still need to run something in the msw directory to build tcl/tk; the README.txt in there gives a list of possibilities, It's not clear to me which script to use to get a 'vanilla' pd.exe, or do I just unpack pdprototype.tgz?
