        Well, it seems that there are plenty of packages out there which
        are both Autotools-based and support the W32 build environments.
        Though I'd rather not to say much on this topic, since I don't
        use these environments at all.

        It seems to me that it's the uncomfortability of the developers
        with Autotools that matters more there.  And I hardly would be
        able to change it, even would I desire so.  Besides, GNU Make
        isn't as dumb as it's frequently depicted.
