Ah, I didn't realize dmake install was the missing piece. I was creative in my own way: I paused the containing batch script mid flight - swapped out the 3 bad test files with ones that would pass and let it rip - it installed just fine. Funky, but it let me get past the bugs. I tried to patch the test files using gnuWin32 but it crashed - in the end I won't worry about it. Thanks for the tip.
