Incidentally, jacana *is* running mingw64, but possibly not a young
enough version. I just ran a test on an up to date version and it found
the config setting happily, and passed the make stage.

I can look at upgrading jacana to a more modern compiler. The version
it's running is 4.9.1, apparently built around Oct 2014, so it's not
that old.
