MinGW cross compilation enviroment setup

[Boaz Harrosh]

Just a side note, if we are at the subject.
  One can download the full package of "MinGW Developer Studio" 
(http://www.parinya.ca)
It comes complete with a compiled tool chain. The Installer runs 
flawlessly under wine. And so is the Dev-Studio and the compiler. (1:0) 
for wine. The only thing that does not work is MinGW-gdb. One day I 
intend to check this code out and fix this area on wine.
