+        # Reasons why I can't get cmake to work:
+        #
+        # 1) Even although gcc is on the path, we must tell cmake not to use /c/MinGW/bin/gcc)
+        # 2) It's using the wrong headers.  Needs /c/Qt/Qt5.6.0/Tools/mingw492_32/i686-w64-mingw32/include
+        #    cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$dist -DEXIV2_ENABLE_NLS=OFF \

+        #                              $exiv2
+        # 3) even so, it errors instantly on:

+        #    My work-around was to comment off the #error statement!
+        
+        CMake generates the wrong include response files.
+        
+        On my system, these should have the code:
+        -IC:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/rmills/gnu/exiv2/trunk/src
+        -IC:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/rmills/gnu/exiv2/trunk/include
+        -IC:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/rmills/gnu/exiv2/trunk/include/exiv2
+        -IC:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/rmills/gnu/exiv2/trunk/build
+        -IC:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/rmills/gnu/exiv2/trunk/xmpsdk/include
+        -IC:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/rmills/gnu/exiv2/trunk/xmpsdk/src
+        -IC:/Qt/Qt5.6.0/Tools/mingw492_32/i686-w64-mingw32/include
+        -IC:/Qt/Qt5.6.0/Tools/mingw492_32/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9.2/include
+        -IC:/MinGW/msys/1.0/local/include 
+        
+        Even with this correction, the build fails.
+        
+        I put the correct include code into includes.rsp and find to propagate it to the wrong files.         
+        /home/rmills/gnu/exiv2/trunk/build> find . -name "includes_*.rsp" -exec cp includes.rsp {} \;
