Also bash etc. are available for DJGPP, so automake actually might
work (at least I've heard people successfully building other
automake's packages under DJGPP). But it might be easier for the
typical Dos user not to require it and do as you did.

I'm not sure; when I need something for DJGPP, I just cross-compile
it from Linux -- easy enough if the program uses autoconf properly.
Though it doesn't seem to work with ogg (beta4), at least not out of
the box, since configure tries to run the test programs checking for
int16_t etc., so even if I define these types in <sys/types.h>,
configure fails; I don't know why it does that, but it's probably
fixable ...
