The source distribution isn't really intended for Windows. All the
configure scripts assume the existence of a posix shell and
associated utilities.
Save yourself the effort and choose a binary distribution tailored to
a dos/windows environment:
http://www.cygwin.com/
http://www.djgpp.com/
http://www.mingw.org/
The first one at least can bootstrap itself from source.
