The system is now called MinGW and not mingw32 any longer, see

http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-what

I think this is the name we should use.  That's why I also dislike 
mingw32 as function name, it should be just mingw.

Oh, and it is Cygwin, not CygWin...

One more thing, configure still spits out the following message:

   NOTE: Win32 codec DLLs are not supported on your CPU (i386) or your
   operating system (CYGWIN). Why don't you help us port it?
   You may encounter a few AVI files that cannot be played due to missing
   Open Source video/audio codec support.

But don't worry about that, I'll make an updated patch later today.
