ups! i did not use any autoconf (how to do that anyway under
windows???). i just loaded your provided solution file for visual studio
(the .sln) and tried to compile. maybe you could add some preprocessor
definitions to the project file
(right mouse klick context menu:config
properties->c/c++->Preprocessor->Preprocessor Definitions)
that indicate to alutintern.h that stdint.h is missing.

anyway - besides this little problem alut compiled flawlessly under
windows! fantastic work!
