Log Message:
-----------
Tweak wording concerning the announcement of the Windows
MinGW/gfortran compiler issue.  Most of these tweaks concern
qualifying all references to gfortran that appear in this announcement
with the "MinGW/" prefix. The point of this qualification is this
problem is limited to Windows.  Therefore, we don't want to concern
users of gfortran on Linux or Mac OS X by using the unqualified
gfortran term anywhere in this particular announcement.

 As building the libraries and the examples succeeds without any problem
 if you use most other distributions of Windows MinGW/gfortran,
 we have decided not to include this flag in our build system.
