Here's another idea: - make the normal configure.in work to build the native build using cygwin tools. - remove the sh.exe support in the makefile.w32-in (as you said, good sh.exe is rare under Windows and if the user could use the standard autoconf stuff with cygwin if she wants to use a real POSIX sh).
