I was thinking of something more modest, namely to change nt/configure.bat to copy the needed rules from lib/gnulib.mk to lib/Makefile. This step wouldn't all need to be done in configure.bat; it could be precomputed on a POSIXish platform, if the Windows tools aren't up to doing what 'sed' can do. Ideally lib/makefile.w32-in could just say "include gnulib.mk" but it might need to include a modified version of gnulib.mk instead. But if the plan is to port 'configure' to Windows perhaps this idea would be a distraction.
