I have mixed feelings about having this macro in autoconf. On one
hand, it would be kind of promoting the use of proprietary software.
On the other, I see it would be a convenience for projects that really
need it, even though it could probably live with CFLAGS='-mwin32 -g -O2'.
I suppose a new macro could be posted to the autoconf macro archive
first, and, if lots of people agree autoconf is the right place for
this macro, we can eventually swallow it.
