You can configure xcrysden manually. Miminal installation/configuration
of xcrysden is to define the XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR and XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH
environmental variables (XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR should point to XCrySDen root
directory) and to create the XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH directory.=20

Follow this link: http://www.xcrysden.org/doc/install.html
Therein you will find what xcConfigure does, and you can do that
manually.

I don't know, however, what will be the effect of white-space in the
XCRYSDEN environmental variables ... (it may even fail to work ...)

On both linux and cygwin ImageMagick package exists, and I gues it is
installed by default on many distributions (i.e. check if you have the
"display" program).

For babel see:  http://openbabel.sourceforge.net/
Many linux distributions have whirlgif package, if not try with:
http://www.danbbs.dk/~dino/whirlgif/

mpeg_encode is getting obsolete, you may find the sources on:
