You only need to install autoconf if you want to generate configre scripts, not if you want to use them. Think of it as a JamFile generator, except the output is a script.
The Win32 shell (cmd.exe/command.com) can run autoconf generated scripts?
I don't know, but I doubt it. You probably need a unix shell. But you still don't need to have autoconf installed. Again, I'm *not* arguing in favour of using autotools instead of bjam, I was just clarifying some misconceptions about autoconf, since discussing its virtues/sins is difficult when it's being misrepresented. jon
