There's an idea -- since 'find' won't work on Windows anyway (does for
me, since I have cygwin, ugh), we could have gen-make generate the whole
makefile from a template in such a way that it works on all platforms.
We could then let autoconf generate the include bits on Unix.
So a translator would still have to run gen-make, but not autogen or
configure (it could be gen-make -s, too).
