I'd rather not recommend using --program-prefix. Although
autoconf/automake support it, the scripts we install don't. `kaffe',
for example, will always run `.../libexec/Kaffe'; if it's installed
under another name, it won't be found. Same for javac et al, that
call kaffe, not the transformed name.
For Windows, I'd recommend --prefix=//c/kaffe instead of c:/kaffe; I'm
not sure c:/kaffe is fully supported by autoconf/automake/libtool
Maybe the URL for Cygwin should be sourceware.cygnus.com
`make check' is better run before `make install', particularly after
libtool is fixed on Linux. IMO, the home page should not recommend
installing before checking, that's usually bad practice, since you
might replace a working version with a broken one.
