Thanks. Would it be an option to put these shell scripts into git, too?
It's not totally clear to me why install-runtime-gtk3.sh.in is in git
but things like pkgconf.sh aren't.

Possible, yes, but a bit awkward. The existing "*.in" files in git are used to generate shell scripts or Makefiles in the user's build directory, based on information/options supplied by the user at configure time.

My pkgconf.sh, on the other hand, is a suggestion for what the user might pass to gretl's configure script -- in the highly unlikely event that he or she is aiming to build a redistributable gretl package on MS Windows!

We could, I guess, add to git a special "pkgbuild" directory under "win32" in the source tree, holding some or all of the package-building scripts. But no auto-generated counterparts would appear in the user's build directory, such scripts being prior to "configure".
