Your having to install all these other autotools and m4 is, AFAICT,
due to cygwin not having broken out libltdl as a separate subpackage,
and not a fundamental issue with gschem.  On Ubuntu, I have:

$ apt-cache search ltdl
libguile-ltdl-1 - Guile's patched version of libtool's libltdl
libltdl3 - A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool
libltdl3-dev - A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool
