I used this in a makefile to define "win" from and of the MINGW unames,  
it matches any string that has MINGW in it.

UNAME := $(shell uname -s)
     ifeq (MINGW,$(findstring MINGW,$(UNAME)))
       OS_NAME = win
       EXTENSION = dll
     endif

I am sure that there is something similar in configure.in, probably  
something out of bourne shell scripting.
