As per suggestion of Guido, I've submitted a patch. The patch, however, doesn't
make any sense standalone, so it's part of #1 of many mingw related patches.
These will ultimately make it possible to build Python on win32 using the
autoconf/make toolchain.

See http://python.org/sf/618791

I've assigned it to Guido for no good reason except being not sure if Mark
knows about autoconf/makesetup, which my patch touches.

But I'd also be glad if anybody else applies it ;-)
