This means that configure didn't find the required tools to build
bindings for any of the supported languages.  It should say that
explicitly - I'll fix that.

It's quite possible you have the required tools installed, but
not on your PATH.  You can tell configure where to look - try
"./configure --help" - for PHP you might use:

./configure PHP_CONFIG=c:/php5/bin/php-config

What language(s) are you aiming to build?  I know the Python bindings
have been successfully built with mingw - the others may require a
little bit of tweaking.  Let us know if you encounter problems and
we'll try to help, so we can ensure that future versions work out of
the box.

Cheers,
