Sure, MinGW works, but is there any interest in winegcc as well?

After several hours of trial it seems that I succeeded. There are only very
few very simple patches necessary and at least MPlayer itself runs fine (and,
as far as I can say by now, without issues). Only the GUI still is a bit
reluctant.

If there is interest in this new "porting", I'd like to post the necessary
patches for discussing and explain compilation in DOCS/tech/crosscompile.txt
(renamed from DOCS/tech/mingw-crosscompile.txt then).
