On Windows you can use cygwin in order to gain some sort of familiar
compiler environment with autoconf, automake, bash, gcc, g++, etc. I
use cygwin extensively at work... without it I wouldn't work where I
do. I just haven't had the time to finish installing it at home and
porting classpath to it, if it can be called porting because I don't
think it will take much effort...assuming libtool works anyway...
