Thanks again, Dov.  I must admit I get some pretty strange results if I 
run the test modules.  If I run the non-glib ones, 'fribidi-types.exe' 
gives me a very lengthy printout (looking almost like an incrementing 
count of some sort) with each number having either "LTR" or "ON" after 
it.  'fribidi-benchmark.exe' gives a printout which looks sensible - but 
the other tests appear to just hang, with nothing happening at all.  
I've only tried Release builds so far - building for 32-bit (with 
VS2005) and for 64-bit (with VS2015).  I see the same results in both cases.

Yes, the ones with glib dependencies are weird ('BidiTest.exe' and 
'BidiCharacterTest.exe').  The 32-bit versions get built okay with 
VS2005 - but strangely, the Release builds try to link to Microsoft's 
Debug libraries and they then fail to run.  For the 64-bit versions 
(with VS2015) the files "BidiTest.txt" and "BidiCharacterTest.txt" do 
get generated - but the corresponding exe's don't get built at all... :-(
