First hurdle:

./configure: This one is generic for CVS HEAD on mingw32 I believe. There
should be a configure option to skip this test so that you can import gmo
files from elsewhere and still build with NLS.

checking whether libintl's ngettext works at runtime... yes
checking for GNU xgettext version >= 0.10.36... no
configure: WARNING: You may have problems with creating pox files. Please
update your gettext package.
checking for GNU msgfmt version >= 0.10.35... no
configure: error: You are unable to create *.gmo files.
This is development version which doesn't include them. Please update your
gettext package. We recommend you versions >= 0.10.38. Or use
--disable-nls instead.
[abort]

Second hurdle: SDL does not have a good runtime install. Freetype is a
bitch to install correctly.

Third and infal hurdle (using ./configure --enable-client=sdl
--disable-nls --disable-freetypetest):
