[libvirt] MinGW environment for libvirt (at this moment))

[Atsushi SAKAI]

Hi, Rich

I do not know about m4 macro origin.
The current libvirt needs to run on latest version(autoconf 2.60 or later).
For this purpose, m4-1.4.5 or later is needed

If I install native m4-1.4.7, it cannot not compiling autoconf.

Thanks
