So was I.  You could still do this in configure.in.  The alternatives are
having something like:

  #if defined (__CYGWIN__) || defined (__DJGPP__)
  # define FILENAME_CASE_INSENSITIVE
  #endif

of something like (in configure.host):

  case "$host_cpu" in

  i[3456]86-*-cygwin*)
	  gdb_host=cygwin
	  FILENAME_CASE_INSENSITIVE=1
	  ;;

  i[3456]86-*-msdosdjgpp*)
	  gdb_host=go32
	  FILENAME_CASE_INSENSITIVE=1
	  ;;
  esac

  AC_SUBST(FILENAME_CASE_INSENSITIVE)

Please be patient.  I have very little experience with multiplatform
configurations, none with autoconfigury  I am one of these folk:

>>(don't worry we're working on it and
>> will have something in the next <<undeterminied>> timeframe, really
>> we will) Windows. 

 and I am getting a bit confused by some of this discussion, and what I should
do.  For me examples teach.

Here is an example of what I would like to add:

In event-loop.c, a clock is needed. Posix uses gettimeofday. Here is how I
would provide that clock for w32:

/*  winbase.h definitions */
typedef struct _FILETIME {
	unsigned long dwLowDateTime;
	unsigned long dwHighDateTime;
} FILETIME;
void __stdcall GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(FILETIME*);

/*time from 1 Jan 1601 to 1 Jan 1970 in 100ns units */
#define _W32_FT_OFFSET (116444736000000000LL) 

typedef union {
	long long ns100; /*time since 1 Jan 1601 in 100ns units */
	FILETIME ft;
	} w32_ftv;

void nt_gettimeofday(struct timeval* p, struct timezone* tz /* IGNORED */){
	w32_ftv _now; 
	GetSystemTimeAsFileTime( &(_now.ft) );
        p->tv_usec=(long)((_now.ns100 / 10LL) % 1000000LL );
	p->tv_sec= (long)((_now.ns100-_W32_FT_OFFSET)/10000000LL);
return;

 
Now, how would you like me to put this into event-loop.c.
An example please,  either on this list or privately
