Thank you for confirming my working hypothesis.

I was thinking along the lines of a Perl script that reads "./config.h.in"
to derive "./windows-NT/config.h.in" which is processed per the current
process to derive "./windows-NT/config.h" file.

The suggestion to drop a step requires modifing the current process but I
don't know where that occurs.  Can you provide me with a pointer to where
"./windows-NT/config.h.in" to "./windows-NT/config.h" step is found?
