This part of the main makefile is attempting to copy 
win32_bindings_python.mak to the bindings directory. You'll need to 
check XAPIAN_BINDINGS in config.mak is the correct relative path from 
the win32 folder to the bindings folder. The path fettling in the Win32 
makefiles is rather horrible I'm afraid.
