When I tried to enable win32 specific extensions (such as COM)
under cygwin, I found that a lot of the win32 api headers were
missing, so the build failed.
I suspect that the same problem will manifest with mingw32.
It's nothing that downloading the platform SDK won't solve,
but if you download that, you've got the MS build tools anyway.
I don't plan to look at mingw32 myself, and I don't want to
deal with patches for it until I've completed the features
I have planned for the build system; once done, adding mingw
support should be reasonably simple (just change the object
and library suffixes and compiler flags...).
