Classpath (and many if not most Unix free software packages) relies on
GNU autoconf to configure itself for compilation. Kaffe and Japhar also
rely on this, and libgjc too I suspect. I'm not sure how well these tools
work on Windows or other platforms or how every package handles these
non-Unix like platforms. Anybody with real life examples? (I know many
GNU tools have been ported to Win)
