That isn't necessary. I already found some issues. I don't want to
go into details unless someone is really interested at that. In short:

    * Don't use AM_PATH_SDL.
    * Try to avoid AC_SEARCH_LIBS and AC_CHECK_LIBS.
    * Use PKG_CHECK_MODULES wherever possible.

In your concrete case, you can check for SDL, SDL_image and SDL_mixer
via pkg-config. The only problem is SDL_ttf which doesn't provide a
pkg-config entry, so it has to be checked the "old way".

So I recommend to put into your configure.ac something along the lines:

    PKG_CHECK_MODULES([SDL],       [sdl >= 1.2.13], ...SUCCESS..., 
...FAILURE...)
    PKG_CHECK_MODULES([SDL_image], [SDL_image],     ...SUCCESS..., 
...FAILURE...)
    PKG_CHECK_MODULES([SDL_mixer], [SDL_mixer],     ...SUCCESS..., 
...FAILURE...)
    AC_CHECK_LIB(SDL_ttf, TTF_OpenFontRW, ...SUCCESS..., ...FAILURE...)

It should be sufficient to do:

    ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32

Have a look at the tutorial "Step 5a" for more information.
