Erm.  Before continuing on this road any further: have you tried using
cccl?  It's a wrapper script for MSVC designed to do exactly what looks
like quite a bit of work inside the autotools.  I'm not saying it can't
be done, or should not be done, but it has been done already, and you
won't have to wait for it (unless there are bugs, of couse) .  ;-)
