As configure is not run on windows, but according to the writing extensions docs you can run commands in Makevars, is that not preferable for simple cases?
What shell is active in Makevars? Is it "/bin/sh" or is make the interpreter here? Can we use $(shell ...cmd...) in Makevars on windows? I'm not sure where to look for what syntax is in-play in the Makevars file during package building other than trial-and-error.
