Pretty wild statement, especially considering the existance of the Cygwin
Net Release. As far as I am aware, all packages contained in it are built
using an autoconf-based ./configure script. Check out http://cygwin.com/.
They use their own customized install agent (http://cygwin.com/setup.exe)
for binary releases, which are downloaded as Slackware-style tarballs, and
standard source tarballs that are patched when need be for source installs.
