Most trivial example, untested:

cat >configure.ac <<\END
AC_INIT([my-package], [1.0], [my-email-address])
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build-aux])
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])
LT_INIT([win32-dll])
AC_PROG_CC
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
END

cat >Makefile.am <<\END
lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
libfoo_la_SOURCES = foo.c
libfoo_la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined
bin_PROGRAMS = bar
bar_SOURCES = bar.c
bar_LDADD = libfoo.la
END

mkdir m4
touch foo.c bar.c

libtoolize -c
autoreconf -vi

./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc  # the prefix of my cross compiler
make
make install
