Probably but beware this file is big and not meant to be edited directly.
Plus your hack is then absolutely not portable for it relies on a given
Makefile, and Makefile is different on possibly any platform. That's the
way autotools work.

No real idea.

Have you tried to regenerate Makefile.in from Makefile.am on a GNU/Linux
box and then run ./configure (which only takes the .in and generates
Makefile) on your Windows box? The idea is than the .am -> .in conversion
depends on the logical dependencies of the program itselft, so the .in is
to some extent universal and platform independant while the .in -> real
Makefile conversion is just about adapting Makefile.in to your current
configuration needs, so it's contextualized. I've never ever tried to run
automake on Mingw32, I always run it on a real UNIX-like system then only
do the ./configure on peculiar platforms such as Mingw32.

Have a nice day,

Christian.
