19-23 are testing alias/exec functionality from test-poptrc.
If you can live without alias/exec (and you likely can,
only rpm makes heavy/serious use of popt alias/exec afaik).

60-61 are just cosmetic --help comparisons. If popt alias/exec
isn't functional, then the --help display will fail too.

Yes the AutoFu chains are getting rather daunting. The basic trick
with autotools, is use configure, and avoid using the autotools, on
tricky platforms.

I haven't a clue how to get AutoFu to work with VS either.

You might try older POPT tarballs. The basic functionality of POPT hasn't 
changed since
forever, nor has the API, nor are there significant bugs. Older tarballs might
have less AutoFu.
