And you are using a shell with an echo that interprets backslashes by
default.  Don't do that; just use bash.  You will find more issues in
Libtool.  We sometimes (by accident I think) assume echo on w32 system
is well-behaved: all w32 shells are fixed this way now.

Nevertheless, I've applied your patch as below, and put you in THANKS.

Thanks!

        Fix cross compilation with wine for the case SHELL != bash.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_to_host_path): Avoid escape
        sequence interpretation by 'echo', for w32-style paths.
        * THANKS: Update.
