We should modify winemaker to use winegcc. There's now
a lot of (bad) duplication between winemaker, and winegcc,
like wrapper support, linking, etc. Moreover, having
winegcc handle the linking details automatically, we
(1) shield the users from all that nastiness, and
(2) retain more freedom on changing things in the build process.

More importantly, we should generate Makefiles that work
as is on mingw as well. This would increase their usefulness
considerably.

My Perl knowledge approaches zero asymptotically, so I can't
quite do this myself, but I am willing to help on it with
what's needed.
