I don't think BDB 4.7 has been tested on windows until now.  I'm surprised 4.5 works with the latest head - but it's probably because you aren't exercising some of the 4.7 features Leslie added.

With BDB 4.5 and 4.7 installed side-by-side, I configured Elephant to use 4.5: the build worked fine. I reconfigured for 4.7, and the build broke with error 22. Back to 4.5: build works fine. Back again to 4.7: still broken.
