+Local Windows Testing Procedure
+===============================
+
+This is what I do for routine testing on Windows.
+
+From Linux, run ./autogen.sh and make autofiles.zip

+test with. Run from msys started from one of the visual studio command
+line shells. The build doesn't work from git bash on my local system.
