Excellent. So what you need to do is make 2 changes: firstly in 
regress/Makefile.in:

REGRESS_INSTALLDIR=`pushd $(srcdir) > /dev/null; $(PWD); popd > 
/dev/null`"/00-regress-install"

Then all you need to do is alter configure.ac so that PWD is set to "pwd 
-W" for Windows users and "pwd" for everyone else. If you come up with a 
suitable patch, I'm happy to review it.


ATB,

Mark.
