Summary: Problem linking on windows using mingw32 and C++

Initial Comment:
When create a python extension in C++ and using ming32
to compile it, distutil will try to use 'cc' as the linker.

The problem is that the CCompiler.link() method will
substitude the linker it has found in linker_exe or
linker_so with the first part of compiler_cxx. (lines
175-176)

So adding the following line to Mingw32Compiler, near
line 296

compiler_cxx='g++ -mno-cygwin -O -Wall',

Fixes it for me. 

Quickly looking at the CygwinCompiler indicates it
would suffer from he same problem.
