Configure-time decisions are not a good idea, since Windows binaries
are habitually copied between machines, and because many users install
a precompiled binary distribution from ftp.gnu.org instead of building
from sources.
So any such decisions must be run-time decisions.

There are still many users of Windows 9x, and we don't want to drop
