automake, autoconf & glib on cygwin

["Gerrit P. Haase" <gp familiehaase de>]

Hallo,

Trying to build shared libs on Cygwin makes it neccessary to change the
.am templates.

Now running autoheader, automake(1.5) and autoconf(2.52) gives me
the following errors:

$ autoheader
WARNING: Using auxiliary files such as `acconfig.h', `config.h.bot'
WARNING: and `config.h.top', to define templates for `config.h.in'
WARNING: is deprecated and discouraged.

WARNING: Using the third argument of `AC_DEFINE' and
WARNING: `AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED' allows to define a template without
