I'm not trying to replace config.guess nor am I trying to avoid
duplicating it.
I'm just trying to replace the

   if test "x$MSYSTEM" = "xMINGW32" -o "x$MSYSTEM" = "xMINGW64"

in configure.ac since it turns out that $MSYSTEM may not be set.

Is $MSYSTEM really necessary?  I only see it used in the above "test"
and in nt/gmake.defs (which I'm not sure we use nowadays).
Of course if the /etc/profile thingy that sets MSYSTEM also sets lots of
other important things, then we may as well rely on $MSYSTEM, indeed.
