Ooo, your a brave soul. :)  I haven't tried that one yet. :-D

You as an end user of a package should not need autoconf and other 
autotools; but, that assumes the package maintainer knows what they're 
doing.  If you need to execute a configure script then you'll need MSYS, 
and I'll suggest the snapshot, see http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml. 
  If you have a .dsw VC++ style project file then you execute the 
dsw2mak gawk script you can find in the mingw-utils package.  If you 
really need autoconf, etc then you need the msysDTK package.
