Carl Kleffner has made 32- and 64-bit mingw stacks compatible with Python.
E.g. the stack alignment in the 32-bit version is different from the
vanilla mingw distribution. It also, for the first time, allow us to build
SciPy with gfortran instead of g77 on Windows, which means we don't have to
limit the Fortran code in SciPy to Fortran 77 legacy code.
