[Developers] [ADMB Users] FW: myxomatosis example

[Jim Ianelli]

In my experience (yesterday) windoze configure works ok with mingw msys
thingy (but it took some time to get that working--would be good to know
which components are required from mingw ahead of time (I ended up
installing everything except fortran).

Configure-make install etc did NOT work on my colleagues computer running
windows XP (I'm running windows 7).

Cheers,
Jim

PS. Why doesn't the current version of ADMB display what version it is?
I.e., when one runs "mymod -?" the screen fails to show what version of ADMB
is being used.
