Okay, this makes it actually easier for us.

Indeed, the cleanest way would be to add certain libs in configure.ac
in case a WIN32 or MINGW system is detected.

However, this is only worth the trouble if you get in touch with upstream,
and if upstream is interested in actually incorporating such a portability
fix.

This is what we do in other packages, too. These are mostly SED actions,
as those changes aren't portable in any way. But a separate patch file
might also be a good idea.


However, Mark just fixed that issue in the glib library:

    http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/rev/a525a556e97d

So I guess your problem has just been solved. :-)
