Hello folks,
I think I finally succeeded: I can now build any UNIX program as long as its
code is portable on Windows with both mingw-gcc toolchain and MS VC++.

Wow, what a lot of effort, when you could have simply installed MSYS and the cccl shell script. I guess you would still need to intercept DOS-style commands like del and xcopy, but the MSYS shell takes care of command line arguments and paths, and cccl takes care of translating Unix cc options to switches that MSVC understands. With these I can use an unmodified libtool script to build most autoconf'd packages on Windows.
