Can't be done without a lot of non-trivial hacking, if at all possible. The Unix makefiles use Borne shell features to get this done, and I don't want to require Windows users to have a native Windows port of a Unixy shell installed (because there are no good ones). That said, feel free to donate patches to make this happen. > Of course, making it possible to build the Windows version via > ./configure would also solve it. In the works, but I could use some help. The main problem, which I'm still unsure what is the best way of solving, is how to tell configur= e not to test for certain features and instead accept that the test should succeed (because those features are implemented in Emacs sources).
