You should try to call the "autogen.sh" script rather than directly
calling autoconf and automake. If a "python.exe" binary is available in
your PATH, autogen.sh automatically generate missing "*.in" files
(including nutupsconf.aug.in). You should also need "perl.exe" to
generate all the "*.in" files.

You should install libgnurx in your mingw directories:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Other/UserContributed/regex/mingw-regex-2.5.1/

Get the *-dev and *-bin packages on this site, unpack them in mingw
directory then re-run your "configure" command.

This should be enough if you only want USB support.

Reagrds,
Fred
