RE: AC_CYGWIN?

Thanks for the tip Max, I looked in 'info autoconf' and found this 

=========info autoconf===========
If you want to base a decision on the system where your program 
will be run, make sure you use the `$host' variable, as in the 
following excerpt:

     case $host in
       *-*-msdos* | *-*-go32* | *-*-mingw32* | *-*-cygwin* | *-*-windows*)
         MUMBLE_INIT="mumble.ini"
         ;;
       *)
         MUMBLE_INIT=".mumbleinit"
         ;;
     esac
     AC_SUBST([MUMBLE_INIT])
=========info autoconf===========

So I guess that's all I need...

I have to! :/ The code is already there, full of defines (#ifdef WIN32 and
#ifdef APPLE) and it was not written with Linux or cygwin in mind and now it
has to be converted, so...

Of course, checking for a platform kind of goes against the whole
feature-not-platform tests ideal of autoconf.
