Thats not possible and also the reason why Qt itself has a shell-script
for Linux and a separate executable for windows to find its
dependencies.

I'd suggest to try out cmake (www.cmake.org) before sticking with
autotools. Its usually quite a bit easier to understand for somebody who
doesn't have years of autotools-experience. And AFAIK Qt4 is quite a bit
better supported by current CMake than with autotools (lack of autotool
macro's to properly find Qt4). Not to mention that cmake works
cross-platform without the need to have a unixish environment on the
platform.
