Geof,

I'm not a big windows user by anymeans, but I have been able to build
autogen & use autoopts under Windows w/ Cygwin via gcc in my own
project.  Doesn't seem to be any way to build it natively under
Windows though that I'm aware of.

I documented the steps necessary to get Autogen working properly under
Cygwin here:
http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/browser/trunk/docs/Win32Readme.txt

Code which compiles under Cygwin is here:
http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/browser/branches/3.4

and is available via svn:

https://www.synfin.net/svn/tcpreplay/branches/3.4

Honestly, I never had to do anything like you're describing above so I
don't have a good answer for you.
