6.3.6 Macros for Windows
------------------------
Windows differs in several aspects from Unix-like systems, many of them
due to the lack of symbolic links.
-- Macro: KPSE_CHECK_WIN32
Check if compiling for a Windows system. The result is either 'no'
for Unix-like systems (including Cygwin), 'mingw32' for Windows
with GCC, or 'native' for Windows with MSVC. The result is cached
in the 'kpse_cv_have_win32' variable.
-- Macro: KPSE_COND_WIN32
Call 'KPSE_CHECK_WIN32' and define the Automake conditional 'WIN32'
('true' if the value of 'kpse_cv_have_win32' is not 'no').
-- Macro: KPSE_COND_MINGW32
Call 'KPSE_COND_WIN32' and define the Automake conditional
'MINGW32' ('true' if the value of 'kpse_cv_have_win32' is
'mingw32').
-- Macro: KPSE_COND_WIN32_WRAP
Call 'KPSE_COND_WIN32' and define the Automake conditional
'WIN32_WRAP' ('true' if the standard Windows wrapper
('texk/texlive/w32_wrapper/runscript.exe') exists. This wrapper is
used on Windows instead of symlinks for the "linked scripts" (⇒
Linked scripts).
-- Macro: KPSE_WIN32_CALL
Call 'KPSE_COND_WIN32' and check if the file
'texk/texlive/w32_wrapper/callexe.c' exists; if it does, create a
symlink in the build tree. Compiling 'callexe.c' with
'-DEXEPROG='"FOO.exe"'' and installing 'callexe.exe' as 'BAR.exe'
is used on Windows instead of a symlink 'BAR->FOO' for Unix-like
systems.
