[issue2234] cygwinccompiler.py fails for latest MinGW releases.

[Jason Tishler]

Jason Tishler <jason at tishler.net> added the comment:

cygwinccompiler.py only uses the first group:

$ fgrep group cygwinccompiler.py
            gcc_version = StrictVersion(result.group(1))
            ld_version = StrictVersion(result.group(1))
            dllwrap_version = StrictVersion(result.group(1))

So, I would like to move forward with the regular expression from 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-05/msg00622.html:

    (\d+\.\d+(\.(\d+))?([ab](\d+))?)

Can we get a consensus?
