I like the idea. However, shouldn't you also guarantee that WINDRES is set even if $host is not windows-based, so that an inherited $WINDRES in a Linux environment does not cause spurious triggering of the AM_CONDITIONAL?
I'd argue the reverse, so users can set WINDRES in the environment before running configure, no?
