Summary: mingw compile

Initial Comment:
A cross-compile of a Win32 Python under Linux using
MingW (www.mingw.org) didn't work, as posixmodule.c
didn't know anything about MingW.
This patch fixes the various compile errors by
introducing a new local MINGW define in posixmodule.c,
and making several #ifdefs also take that variable into
account.

After this patch is applied, it's possible to compile
python.exe on Linux with MingW by doing

 CXX=i386-mingw32msvc-g++  CPP=i386-mingw32msvc-cpp  RANLIB=i386-mingw32msvc-ranlib  AR=i386-mingw32msvc-ar  CC="/opt/xmingw/bin/i386-mingw32msvc-gcc -DMS_WINDOWS
-DPy_WIN_WIDE_FILENAMES"  ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc 

 sed -i s/initposix/initnt/g Modules/config.c
 sed -i 's/#define HAVE_DEV_PTMX 1//g' pyconfig.h
   
 make

I don't have a way of testing your patch and will have to
apply it on blind faith.  Be sure to get it right and read
it carefully to make sure it doesn't mess-up anyone else's
compilation.

The attached version won't compile for me (MSVC++ 6.0 on WinMe):

Ok, I've attached the full posixmodule.c.
It's based on the lastest CVS version (2.329, from 2004/10/13).

Please attach a new posixmodule.c instead of the diff file.
 For some reason, my patch tool thinks the formatting is
malformed.
