I don't think I understand your answer; I'm not sure you understood my
question.  

Rephrased:  If I have a single makefile in my src directory, and I'm
compiling in Windows, I would have expected it to make no difference
whether I call it Makefile or Makefile.win.   But it does.  "Makefile"
works, "Makefile.win" doesn't.

If I have both files, on Windows I would have expected the package
making process to completely ignore src/Makefile.  It appears that
this happens, but the make still doesn't work, because it acts like
Makefile.win alone.

I added this line at the start:

include $(RHOME)/src/gnuwin32/MkRules

and the way it fails is different (it appears to have all the macros
defined, but the linker isn't finding some symbols it should).  I
tried adding 

include $(RHOME)/src/gnuwin32/MakeVars

but then make complained, because that MakeVars file just includes
this line 

!<arch>

which it doesn't understand (and either do I).
