windows compile error

[Joanna Chopard (jchopard)]

Thanks for the suggestion.
You are right about Account.c.  It's somehow empty!

However, I just tried make clean and still no luck.
I still get the same error:(

This is a weird issue that I've seen happen once or twice before.  For
some reason, the AccountOpts.c generation overwrites the previously
generated Account.c.  If you `make -f Makefile.mingw clean` in the
"purple/plugins/perl/common" directory and then `make -f Makefile.mingw`
in that directory again, it should work.
