First of all thanks for your contributions: I have been using emacs-w3m without problem under windows 32-bit and Cygwin 32-bit.
Recently, I switched to windows 64-bit (under Windows 10) and found out that my Emacs doesn't load w3m despite putting the old good emacs-w3m files in the old path.
I tried to compile both the CVS version and the stable version according to the instructions but the ./configure file stopped before creating a Makefile. Here is the output:
wong@emacs-w3m-1.4.4[580] cat ./

Please let me know how I can me get back to the w3m convenience in Emacs.
