Configuration file on mingw/msys put in different place from where looks

[mohawk2]

I built dmake on Windows using mingw and msys. Used a patch similar to the msys patch listed here. I'm trying to work with the FHS standard to determine where files are placed under msys. When I built dmake, it placed the .mk files under usr\local\share\startup which makes sense and follows the FHS standard. When I run dmake, it's looking for the files in startup subdirectory beneath the bin directory where the dmake executable is (usr\local\bin\startup).

There's a line in configure that switches it to look for DMAKEROOT at $datarootdir/share/startup, but it's only set to work for unix like machines:

if test x$OS_TYPE = xunix; then
DMAKEROOT_H_LINE1='"DMAKEROOT := '${dmakerootprefix}'/startup",'
fi

Had to work around the issue with:

export MAKESTARTUP=\\mingw\\msys\\usr\\local\\share\\startup\\startup.mk

I like the fact that it installs support files in $datarootdir/share/. However, it would be even nicer if it could actually find the files that it installs to that directory. Thanks.
