2a01606e30 Port Mercury to MinGW.
Estimated hours taken: 7
Branches: main and 0.12

Port Mercury to MinGW.

README.Cygwin:
README.MS-Windows:
README.MinGW:
	Move most of README.MS-Windows to README.Cygwin and make
	README.MS-Windows refer the user to README.Cygwin, README.MinGW or
	README.MS-VisualC.
	README.MinGW describes how to install the source distribution under
	MSYS.

configure.in:
	Configure Mercury for MinGW.  Most of the options are the same as
	Cygwin.

boehm_gc/Makefile:
	Add a workaround to a problem with cp not working properly just
	after a file is created on MinGW.
	If cygpath is not present (which it isn't on MSYS), then use
	/bin/sh to invoke the C compiler.

scripts/mmc.in:
	Do not use exec to invoke mercury_compile under MinGW.  exec
	doesn't seem to understand Windows like paths with a drive
	letter in front.
