There are some MINGW_AC... macros, which we sort of maintain informally
via the mingw-users ML.  To check for windows, I normally check for GCC
defining _WIN32, (which it always does when compiling for the native
platform, whether 32-bit or 64-bit).

I'll dig out the MINGW_AC... "standard" macro I use, and post it later.
