These might interest you:
   ZLIB_CFLAGS C compiler flags for ZLIB, overriding pkg-config
   ZLIB_LIBS   linker flags for ZLIB, overriding pkg-config
   PCRE_CFLAGS C compiler flags for PCRE, overriding pkg-config
   PCRE_LIBS   linker flags for PCRE, overriding pkg-config
   DBUS1_CFLAGS
               C compiler flags for DBUS1, overriding pkg-config
   DBUS1_LIBS  linker flags for DBUS1, overriding pkg-config

Also this one:
   --with-pcre=[internal/system]
                           specify whether to use the internal or the
                           system-supplied PCRE library

And this is what i've been successfully using to build glib2 on Windows:
./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-silent-rules --enable-threads 
--enable-man --with-threads=win32 --with-pcre=internal

(zlib is installed into /mingw, so configure picks it up effortlessly, i 
have no dbus and dbus support is disabled, pcre is internal - and that's 
about all dependencies, i think)

Run ./configure --help to see all the variables and options
