In stepĀ 4 of

  http://mxe.cc/#tutorial

you write

  Edit your .bashrc script in order to change $PATH:

    export PATH=/where MXE is installed/usr/bin:$PATH

I think this is insufficient.  Assuming that the target is
`i686-pc-mingw32', it should rather be

    export PATH=\
    /where MXE is installed/usr/bin\
    :/where MXE is installed/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin\
    :$PATH

Otherwise configure and make scripts which try to access other
configuration scripts like `freetype-config' fail.

Since this situation is quite frequent and easy to miss (because many
platforms have `/usr/bin/freetype-config' and friends), I suggest to
mention this explicitly.
