OK

I did:

        cvs update -dP
        cd window-NT
        copy config.h.in config.h.in.in
        test

Where "test" is "test.cmd" which contains:

        @echo off
        perl mkconfig.pl

        @echo "/* This file is generated via a rule in Makefile.am from the" 
>config.tmp
        @echo " * config.h.in file." >>config.tmp
        @echo " *" >>config.tmp
        @echo " * *** DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY ***" >>config.tmp
        @echo " *" >>config.tmp
        @echo " * Edit config.h.in instead." >>config.tmp
        @echo " */" >>config.tmp

        Rem Sorry, no sed
        copy config.tmp+config.h.in config.h
        del config.tmp

The output "config.h" is attached along will compile output.

Will some creative "grep" commands be sufficient?
==========================================================
The build breaks in "libcvs" file "lib/getline.c" inside include of
"lib/getline.h" file.

Delimitation for "ssize_t" got dropped.  I await your resolution plan.
