Details:
I was cross compile make on Ubuntu for Windows and was having a problem that
WINDOWS32 wasn't defined.
It turned out to be because the configure file is slightly wrong for the
naming of mingw on Ubuntu.
On Ubuntu mingw is mingw32msvc so the configure file doesn't create the
correct config.h because:
case "$host" in
*-*-mingw32)
doesn't match mingw32msvc. Simply adding a wildcard on the end of mingw32
makes it match, and thus creates the correct config.h, thus build.
The fix is to replace the above with the below.
case "$host" in
*-*-mingw32*)
Earlier on configure it already does a host check for mingw, but it does
"*-*-mingw*" instead of "*-*-mingw32" which works. The two probably should be
consistent (and obviously work ;-) ).
