Implementation of the CCompiler class for Cygwin and Mingw32, ie. the two
major ports of GCC to Windows. Contributed by Rene Liebscher, and quite
untested by me. Apparently requires tweaking Python's installed config.h
and adding a libpython.a to build extensions.

+Contains the CygwinCCompiler class, a subclass of UnixCCompiler that handles
+the Gnu Win32 C compiler.
+It also contains the Mingw32CCompiler class which handles the mingw32 compiler
+(same as cygwin in no-cygwin mode.)
