Indeed, the first thing I noticed is that Maurizio's Windows build
seems to use nsconfig.tcl in place of the Unix configure/autoconf,
which Jim Davidson added back in 2005.

Naviserver folks, can you comment on what you think of that approach?
Does Naviserver not include it solely because it wasn't included in
the AOLserver 4.0.10 branch that Naviserver forked from?
