FVWM: FVWM 2.4.7 vs CygWin

While others apparently have had no problems building FVWM under CygWin,
it's not working for me. Configure claims aclocal and automake are
missing, even though they are in /bin and /bin is in the PATH. It also
claims that gcc doesn't work. How do I find out what it's doing wrong?

I'm on the list at another email address, but please Cc: this one :)
