Now, I think that's only the case if Mikey's ash doesn't exist in 
'c:/bin'. I found an old version of (what I think is) Mikey's ash here:
   http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/projects/gnu-win32/software/ported/
and put a copy in 'c:/bin/'. After I downloaded skeleton's current
cvs HEAD, I was able to successfully compile it as expected.

I was never able to reproduce Greg's original problem that provoked
workhorse.make revision 1.24, but there should no longer be any 
problems upgrading wx as long as a copy of Mikey's ash exists in 
'c:/bin'.
