Possibly, but it adds another problem: autoconf is pretty Unix-centric.
It does not solve any problem on all other OS:es, unless autoconf is
ported. And then, you still need quite a lot of work (depending on
how complicated your Configure.in is). And believe me, autoconf is
definitely *not* an easy piece to port. Imagine translating all the
sh lines in there to CMD (NT command interpreter) commands...
But to autoconf's favor, it creates Configure scripts that will find
out what your environment is capable of, instead of having a growing
database of capabilities in the config script itself.
