I don't think that should be part of a configure option. The defines
should be added to the code that actually needs them, and the include
and lib path cannot be hardcoded anyway.

You won't be able to cleanly test other packages with the patch, since
the -L$(DLLDIR) will always be present you'll most likely get a mix of
Wine and Mingw libraries.
