Hi!  Could you try building in a path that doesn't contain a space ('
') character?  I believe the autoconf/automake/libtool tools have
problems on Windows with paths that contain SPC in the build tree.  I
think I have reported this to them, but there were no response.

In general, GNU SASL should work fine under Windows.  There is even a
Windows installer of GNU SASL available via the Vortex project from:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=145682

I hope to integrate it with my Windows installer for GnuTLS (see
<http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/>), so that it becomes easy to
install a GnuTLS-enabled GNU SASL too.

Let me know if you have any problems, or can think of something to
improve.
