An even better solution is to not use the Cygwin mingw mode, but to use the
native mingw build environment instead. Part of the mingw project is msys,
which is basically a stripped down version of the autoconf toolchain for
*native* win32 programs only. It's available from mingw's Sourceforge site.

Btw. I'm currently trying to hack Python's autoconf-based build process for
msys/mingw.
