Re: [Chicken-users] Mingw Makefile and Instructions

I would certainly agree that this is not the right way to do things. A
few patches that correctly identify MINGW would be pretty easy to
implement. Right now, csc thinks everything is either Unix or Windows.
And there are hard coded assumptions for either model. A good fix
shouldn't be too hard.
