I don't understand why you are trying to run aclocal. You *write* `aclocal.m4' and `configure.ac' to customise `autoconf' behaviour, then you run *autoconf* to generate a `configure' script. You then run that configure script to configure your package. The entire autotools suite is geared towards building POSIX style packages. You need a POSIXy environment to make effective use of them. If Cygwin seems too heavy an installation for your needs, you could consider MSYS, from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 as a lightweight alternative -- get and install MSYS-1.0.10.exe msysDTK-1.0.1.exe then update the included autotools by unpacking msys-autoconf-2.59.tar.bz2 msys-automake-1.8.2.tar.bz2 msys-libtool-1.5.tar.bz2 from the same repository, and you will have a suitable environment, including perl, with the latest versions of the autotools.
