I have looked at this a bit. It's fairly ugly, and the only moderately
clean way I see forward is a configure test to check for a mingw-w64
compiler, e.g. by running gcc -E -dM over a file which just includes
stdio.h and checking for the definedness of __MINGW64__VERSION_MAJOR, or
something similar.
