Subject: Window on Windows
When testing on Windows, a window appears asking which program to use to open autogen.sh. It is inconvenient for cpantesters. If currently Windows is not supported, you can use die "OS unsupported: sh is missing" if $^O eq "MSWin32"; -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Note that Alien::Base 0.005 will include support (via Alien::MSYS) for building autoconf style packages on Windows. Here is a RC for 0.005: https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/P/PL/PLICEASE/Alien-Base-0.004_05.tar.gz You will need to change "%pconfigure" to "%c" for this to work. If you have any questions, I am one of the Alien::Base core devs and will be happy to discuss it with you.
