I have a problem with that macro. First note, that I am using autoconf 
2.61.

Here is how I use that macro:

in configure.ac:

efreet_datadir=$datadir
case "$host_os" in
   mingw|mingw32)
      MSYS_AC_CANONICAL_PATH([efreet_datadir], [$datadir])
   ;;
esac
AC_SUBST(efreet_datadir)

But in the created Makefile, the value of efreet_datadir is:

efreet_datadir = 
D:/msys/1.0/home/vincent/tmp/e17/libs/efreet/${datarootdir}

do you know why ?

thank you
