[python-win32] pywin32 building under mingw64/msys2

[Mark Hammond]

There is some work going on in 
https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/pull/1612, but that's largely 
stalled at the moment. Frankly, I've no interest in this myself, so if 
it happens it would need to be driven by contributors.

Cheers,

Mark
