Well the script runs a small latex program:
\nonstopmode\makeatletter
\ifx\undefined\documentclass\else
\message{ThisIsLaTeX2e}
\fi
\@@end
which displays ThisIsLaTeX2e if \documentclass is defined. What
happens when you run this under miktex? Where does the output go?
Maybe is it standard error instead of stdout?
Roland> Whats the deal with the

lib/configure is generated automatically from lib/lib_configure.m4
(now lib/configure.m4) which is some kind of poor man's autoconf. The
reason I did that is that autoconf was not suited to what I wanted to
do, so I just gave up (I don;t need the features of autoconf and they
get in my way).

More sophisticated? You've got to be kidding ;)
Seriously I am interested in fixing it for miktex.

Yes, it should. There is some work to do for this to happen, though.
