MinGW guile.exe cross build patch series v10

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

Hi!

Recap how to use these patches

    $ ./pre-inst-env guix build --target=i686-w64-mingw32 hello
    $ guix environment --ad-hoc wine -- wine 
/gnu/store/9sx5hhdlyk7b3xdv7120yn5742l9xj2p-hello-2.10/bin/hello.exe
    Hello, world!

This series addresses the comments from Alex Kost and features slight rewrites
illustrated by Mark Weaver to avoid triggering any rebuilds.  This means now
doing things like, in ncurses

    (patches (if (target-mingw?)
                 (search-patches "ncurses-mingw.patch")
                 '()))))

I'm not sure if/when/where we want to rewrite such things again in a way you
would write it had we not aimed to avoid rebuilds (i.e., more like the v9
patch set had).

The biggest change wrt v9 that has not been reviewed is #:configure-flags
section in 0007-gnu-ncurses-support-mingw.patch, it would be nice if that
could be simplified.

As suggested by Ludovic, I have tested all individual patches with the
scripts below.

Greetings,
Jan
