I've tried just about every combination of --host, --target, and --build that I can think of, and I've read http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cross/README.txt , and that hasn't seemed to help me either. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Based on the directory configuration that you give above you should be 
able to just do  `./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc' but that may be 
dependent on the version of autoconf that configure was built with.  I 
would tend to do `./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc 
--target=i586-mingw32msvc --build=`./config.guess`' to remove any doubt 
about what the default is.
