I think so.  (never used it though)

For Windows I hope you'll work with either Cygwin or MinGW because  
autoconf/automake/libtool don't directly support the Microsoft  
compiler (although it is possible to get it working with the  
autotools by hacking your build system a little bit with some  
wrappers such as cccl or WGCC).
I've been using the autotools for a couple of years now and I think  
this is the only real limitation I ran into.  Hopefully there are  
workarounds.

Cheers,
