+\r
+Me too, using the current configure script with MSYS bash should be no\r
+problem (if there is I'm interested to know where). \r
+\r
+I'd suggest you do a system that attaches to the current system with as\r
+small changes as possible (so you get reviewers) and put all windows\r
+specific things to separate script(s) (which is executed *only* when windows\r
+build is detected). The gnulib dependency could be handled so that in \r
+case (ext/*)gnulib directory does not exist, first\r
+'git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git' is done -- and then\r
+a specific commit is checked out from the clone (git reset --hard <hash>)\r
+This way we get an exact working tree from gnulib but only when someone\r
+attempts to do w32 build (if there are some licensing issues (copyright\r
+assignment papers???) we can require user to manually execute the script\r
+which checks out the repository, maybe with magic command line argument)\r
+A draft of a checkout script is at the end of this email.\r
+(If you desire to build required parts using autotools in your custom\r
+script please do so. In any case nobody will take the responsibility\r
+to support the w32 build :D)\r
