MinGW is just a port of gcc to Windows. So, it has to be aware that we are
working on the windows platform (paths, includes etc), but from the
accepted syntax and command-line options, it behaves like 'gcc'. Even the
binary is 'gcc.exe'.

I do not know if we really need an extra config file there. Until now, it
does not seem necessary and using "bootstrap.bat gcc ge" works fine. But I
have to admit that I have no tested it thoroughly (I am just running the
tests, and will report any error - but there are no so far).

I think we should try to see how far we can go by treating 'gcc' and
'mingw' the same on Windows and Linux. If we see problems, we can still
add an how cfg file.
