What were the problems?  How did you solve them (did you)?

In any case, I don't plan to reverse the decision to use libtool and
automake, because I want to be able to use functions from gnulib, and
as far as I can tell, that is just not practical without automake and
libtool.

I can try to help you debug the problems, but you will have to send
more information about exactly what is happening.  Or, I need to know
how to duplicate the build environment you have, then I can try to
find a Windows system that I can use to debug the configuration
problems.
