Hi Ben,

I've run into the same problem, and this is what I do,

  case $target in
    *-*-mingw*)
      abs_top_srcdir=`cd $srcdir; pwd -W`
      abs_top_builddir=`pwd -W`
      ;;
    *)
      abs_top_srcdir=`cd $srcdir; pwd`
      abs_top_builddir=`pwd`
      ;;
  esac

It's probably not correct, but it works.
