Why do you think so?
There is no problem with using auto* tools on systems supporting them,
now. Right?

The idea is to use the same tools and make use of existing knowledge for
yet another platform - this time Windows. And to use auto* tools under
Windows we need MSYS installed.

I'd love to hear Yang Tse opinion on this. He's working on a new nmake
makefile for the project and should join this discussion. By the way;
how is this work going, Yang?
