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.

HTH.
