The contents of this definition should end up in configure.  If they
don't, then something is broken in how autoconf is run.

Do you have another pkg.m4 somewhere?  Did your installation rely on
ACLOCAL_PATH being set (looks like it's no emptied when running
'aclocal').  Is your m4.exe an MSYS program or a MinGW program?  What
about automake and autoconf: are you using the packages from
ezwinports or from somewhere else?  Do you have a single MSYS tree and
a single MinGW tree with all the tools, or do you install each package
into its own directory (which might cause trouble when one package
needs to access files installed by another)?

These are just random questions.  The truth is I don't have the
slightest idea about what's wrong there, and cannot debug this over
email, sorry.
