I know but the
#ifdef WIN32
#include "winconfig.h"
#else
#include <config.h>
#endif
is rather messy, what if there is a OS2 port or some other non autoconf
aware
pladform, will you make this #ifdeffing even bigger.
When always using config.h in the sources, the make processes just has
to copy
winconfig.h to config.h before building on win32. or os2config.h to
config.h
on OS2 or what ever.

I am on it. (reading it might help though :-)
