Well, there should have been an error logged to config.log that
would have shown why Test.java could not be compiled.

No, the autoconf based build has never been tested on NT. I know
it works on Unix systems, but I have not gotten around to
porting it to Window + Cygwin. There is an updated makefile.vc
(the VC++ based build) that works for Tcl Blend 1.3 on the
contract branch. It might be easier to get that working on NT.

Cool. Yes, Jacl would be a lot easier to get working with
the Cygwin based build. Tcl Blend is going to be a bit more
work. There was a Cygwin tested build process for Tcl Blend
in the 1.2 release, but it did not support Jacl and suffered
a bit of code rot when compared to 1.3, so I had to kill it.
I need to revive that sucker, but perhaps someone else who
has done some autotools hacking would like to beat me to it :)
