I'm not sure I see the point. You can't really run configure or make on
an MSVC setup anyway. It seems to me that something like msvcmaker is a
better solution.

Well, you can. MSVC can be run in wine and you can install a Win32 port 
of sh to run configure on Windows and all of our configure tests work.

Yes, you're right. I wish I'd known about the purpose of this tool 
before I went down the route that I did...
