It has not much impact since I simply don't use configure, nor make. To build under Windows XP, I just launch the Python script in dist\setup.py.in .
Note the .in extension, which seems to mean that it should have been transformed by another script. However, when having a look at the script, I do not see any @@ macro. So I guess it's safe for it to be launched as is. In fact it seems that we could solve all our versioning issues by tweaking this setup.py.in script.
