Peter,

if you like cmake more, feel confortable.  I know about some points
autotools can easily get a mess.  In general it works nice, but if
trouble occured by it, then it gets sometimes pretty hairy.
For compiling via autotools on cygwin, I think you didn't specified on
configure the option --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32.  At least I assume so,
but well, if you have a working makefile, it is fine too.

Happy new year,
Kai
