Folks: I just spent an entire workday (when I probably should have been doing other things) trying to make the darcs autoconf/configure scripts do the Right Thing on Windows. I now have to join the ranks of people who complain loudly that autoconf is absolute hell to debug or extend.
Hopefully I will be able to provide something more specific and constructive later, but at the moment I am too overwhelmed with the awful feeling that I just wasted a chunk of my life and made no discernable progress towards my goal. If I'm to be responsible for a certain amount of darcs support going forwards, for example building darcs on Windows, then please allow me to vote in favor of us at least exploring the option of an alternative to autoconf.
