Does pkg-config run from the cmd prompt, or does it show a "DLL
missing" dialog or some other failure?  Do you see any pkg-config
related error messages in config.log?

Which m4.exe do you have installed, MSYS or MinGW?  What version(s) of
them?

What do you get if you run "autoreconf -v -v --warnings=all -fi -I m4"
from the MSYS Bash promt -- do you get the same output as what I sent
(off list)?  Any errors/warnings that could hint at the problem?

FWIW, I don't use Autoconf 2.68, I use 2.65 on one machine and 2.69 on
another (the later with a newer Automake, I think).
