I haven't done much with the Windows port except install and test it, so
I don't know everything about it. But it looks like you tried to install
a development version, which is harder to work with and probably not what
you want. 

If you just want a running installation of pspp 0.6.0 on a Windows machine,
you should be able to just unzip the archive and double-click on setup.exe,
then follow the directions for a straightforward installation. That's what
I did, and I never had to deal with ./configure and make.
