I think this would be useful.
At present the gretl "configure" script is not going to work on
Windows, even with a fully-endowed mingw installation, because it
makes various *nix-specific assumptions.
It would not be too difficult to fix that by adding some appropriate
conditionals. I don't have time to work on that right now, but if
anyone's interested I think a reasonable approach would be to
cross-reference gretl's "configure.in" with the Makefile and
"config.mk" in the win32 subdirectory of the gretl source (which are
used for the cross-compile).
