[MinGW-dvlpr] wint_t

[<dan...@ya...>]

 Wu Yongwei earlier raised the issue of difference in wint_t between mingw
and MSVC++ headers.  The following patch to gcc/config/i386/mingw32.h will
fix it.

> #undef WINT_TYPE
> #define WINT_TYPE "short unsigned int"

This will put the msvcrt-compatable typedef in stddef.h file in
/lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/3.1/include.

The current typedef of unsigned int hasn't caused any problems with runtime
functions because of type promotion when passing args, but could if users
put wint_t fields in structures.

Should I bother with this patch?
