Thanks for the report and the testing.  I will have a look at this tonight.

Yesterday I added options --enable-chm and --enable-xmaxima-exe for the 
windows stuff.
These are (supposed to be) disabled by default on all platforms, to 
avoid the issues
you have reported.  Must be a mistake somewhere.

I didn't think to test "make distclean".  I have checked in a fix for 
that.  Using
automake in interfaces/xmaxima/win32 would be a better solution.  It 
should be possible now.
