I'm sorry for teh noise...
It was probably caused by me trying to minimize the extra files
needed.

I have now resorted to the better solution as follows:
- Unpacked the GNU libraries in their totality to paths:
  somewhere\Opensource\libxml
  somewhere\Opensource\libxlslt
  somewhere\Opensource\zlib
  somewhere\Opensource\sed
  somewhere\Opensource\docbook-xsl
- Include the corresponding bin dirs to the PATH
- Created an environment variable DOCBOOK that points to docbook-xsl
- Modified the build.bat file to use the env variable and no paths to
binaries

Now the cvs.dbk file compiles to a valid chm file including the
headings and all. There is now only one single error message:

<quote>
Writing index.hhk
Compiling the help file
Microsoft HTML Help Compiler 4.74.8702
Compiling f:\Engineering\Projects\cvsnt\doc\_tmp\htmlhelp.chm
index.html
ch01.html
<snip>
apf.html
apg.html
HHC5003: Error: Compilation failed while compiling ix01.html.
toc.hhc
index.hhk
The following files were not compiled:
ix01.html
</quote>

In fact the processing did not produce the ix01.html file, it does not
exist in the temp dir...

I feel I am real close now, I will probably at the end of the day add
a buildwin32.bat file or similar name for my working solution.
