I suppose autoconf could generate a configure-like script tht works with CMD
files or Windows Scripting Host
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Script_Host) to generate nmake files.
Seems like a lot of work though.  It also seems like it depends on support
for the native MS tools using the existing configure script mechanism.
