Here are some excerpts of a problem discussed in the cywin32 mailing list.
I thought it might be interesting for the automake people too (this message
is also crossposted CC: to the cywin32 list for information).

It seems related to the way configure script handles path (many of use
encoutered the pb with different configure scripts) :
Alex <alexl@i-france.com> :
>i tried to compile CILK ( http://supertech.lcs.mit.edu/cilk/ )

Tolj <tolj@uni-duesseldorf.de> :

Any help frop the automake people would be really appreciated, sorry if it
has been discussed before...
Thanks a lot
