I hadn't thought about it as a problem before, but yes, this is a Vista machine.

I found <http://www.nabble.com/environment-hosed-during-upgrade-t3305745.html>;
where should I put the xgcc-3.4.5.exe I've downloaded, and should I
rename it to something else?  Is this in fact the patched gcc you were
