Another alternative to autoconf is Boost's BJam build system. Very cross-platform capable (I use it for building some aspects of our project on Windows using VC6 and .NET and all of our project under linux/gcc). There are two versions of BJam. Version 2 is much more powerful, but I have not created a Jamfile (the makefile) for Crypto using it yet. I have one for Crypto 5.x using version 1 if anyone is insterested.

Ofcourse changes for one compiler may not work for others. This is the
reasoning behind my suggest for autoconf. With autoconf we can detect
the system can the compiler in use. Armed with that fact we can be sure
that any gcc specific code would not interfere with any MS code through
the use of #ifdef statements.
