interesting that this looks for "cl.exe" but not for "CL.EXE". I
though uppercase would be correct - at least what is installed by
default, so we called our wrapper script (for linux+WINE as build, for
win32 as host) also uppercase.

Was this wrong?

Is anyone using cl? Where?
On windows, configure (.sh) cannot be run, so what is used? WINE, cygwin, MSYS?
