I suggest you go ahead with whatever is easiest for you.  At least you will
be able to focus on actually solving the MinGW-related problems.  Others can
chip in on the autoconf problems.  As a starter perhaps a Makefile.mingw
file can be added to the PCBuild directory.  At a later date the interim
makefile can be removed to the attic.
