I don't know what to detect. Looking at $0 is not going to fit the
bill, because it is quite alright to set CONFIG_SITE manually before
invoking ./configure. You will see that the top-level Makefile.in
does precisely that, when it finds it needs to re-run configure.
Moreover, someone might even copy mingw-cfg.site to
$prefix/share/config.site, and I don't think they deserve to be
punished by throwing an error. So testing that "$CONFIG_SITE" is
non-empty is also sub-optimal if not outright wrong.
I wrote detailed instructions in nt/INSTALL.MSYS so that people would
know how to avoid these. If they don't follow, they will realize that
soon enough...

I would expect them to read the instructions first. Maybe it's me who
is naive.

It isn't.
