I added a mingw32 auto-build to simplify mingw32 portability tests, the
output will be visible daily from now on at:

http://autobuild.josefsson.org/gnulib/#dummy-i586-pc-mingw32msvc

Right now, the gnulib modules that fail to build under mingw32 are (see
log): savewd, sigpipe-die, getugroups, idcache, and userspec.  Once they
are fixed, the logs will contain output from the self-tests too, which
could be interesting.

FWIW, I use automake 1.10.1 with cross-compile builds without any
problem with 'make check'.
