Not all, only those that use the Makefile build system, i.e. MSVC is not
failing, but MinGW and Cygwin are.

Specifically, we are failing thus during initdb:

creating conversions ... FATAL:  could not access file "$libdir/ascii_and_mic": No such file or directory


I can't immediately see the cause, although presumably it's the changes in Makefile.shlib that have done it.

Maybe we need to set up a Windows machine or two somewhere so that committers can test out stuff like this ...
