How native is "native"?

If you really mean *native*, you don't have a Bourne-compatible shell
unless the user's installed one (Cygwin, MKS Toolkit, whatever that
think - MKS-based? - that Microsoft has, etc.), so you can't use
configure scripts.  The same technique used by Ethereal - use "nmake"
files for "native" Windows builds, using MSVC++ - might be the answer
for those builds.
