Right, that's the best part of of autoconf: it generates a shell

Including Windows?
And that's the worst part of autoconf - no Windows support. At least
not without going further into the Cygwin or MinGW world, which gets
even further away from native Windows development than we already are.
Funny, when I want to build my normal vi-like editor on Windows/Cygwin I
just extract the tarball, type ./configure, and then "make". Works like
a charm. :-)
Admittedly the editor has a LOT less requirements/dependencies than
Wireshark...
(I'm also not sure if the author spent any effort on making things work
in Cygwin.)
