Re: mingw configure failure detection

Adjusted attached patch applied. Thanks.

I didn't change 'test -e' because 'test -h' doesn't work (is symlink
test on my platform). test -f actually works on symlinks too in MinGW,
strangely enough. Anyway, the code is only run on MinGW so we don't
have to worry about other platforms. I added a comment explaining it
works.

I got rid of the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS and just do the for/test loop in the
shell code directly. AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS wouldn't allow me to call
AC_MSG_WARN.
