annoyance running mingw

[Dan Kegel]

I installed mingw under Wine today, and aside from the
EULA etc. showing up blank in the installer, it installed
just fine.  And it even compiles programs ok!  Cool!

Unfortunately, mingw's gcc causes Wine to emit zillions of warnings like this:

Warning: L"/mingw/lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/specs" not accessible from a configured DOS drive

Seems like somehow Wine should have been able to avoid issuing
that warning.  Oh, ok, mingw could stick a drive letter on the
path, or use \ as a dir separator, but it shouldn't have to, should it?
