Something's definitely not correct. I'm using the trunk version and I 
get configure to find expat.h from c:\mingw\include and expat.dll.a 
(which is created with pexports and libtool and the small perl utility) 
from c:\mingw\lib with:

1) adding LIBS="$LIBS -lexpat" to configure (lines 23783 and 23787)

and

2) calling configure with

--with-expat=yes --with-expat-inc=/c/mingw/include 
--with-expat-lib=-L/c/mingw/lib

Note the value for --with-expat-lib. It seems to be required although 
the directory is known by the linker by default.

Regards,

Ari
