Actually, I *am* using and IDE: I have set up MingW with Eclipse as
the IDE on Windows. And since im obviously not an expert (yet), simple
C programs like helloworld are easily written and build in Eclipse
this way. There even is an autotools plugin for Eclipse on Windows,
available at: http://sourceware.org/eclipse/autotools/
