Non-configure builds such as Windows, NetWare and others must run
'buildconf.bat' when trying to build out of a git checkout. This
prepares the checked out source tree for building, copying several
files into place which do not exist in the git repo. Notice that
hugehelp.c won't be the 'real thing' given that generating it on pure
Windows systems is troublesome.

On the other hand nightly and release tarballs do not include
'buildconf.bat' given that the generated tarballs already have all
required files already packed into it, this includes the real big
hugehelp.c
