I'll try to clarify my point one more time: yes it is possible in autotools
to exclude code depending on configure. But that is not an autotools
specific feature. Code and/or build systems not meant to be used on
platforms that weren't in the dev's thoughts when written will not work.
And because autotools is very Unix-centric, chances are a lot higher that
they were written for Unix, and not with Windows in mind. This is a
practical/statistical fact, not some disadvantage of autotools.
But whatever, I don't care anymore. You seem intent to not listen.
