They may not be needed for a mingw build, but do the msvc headers also define them?
HAVE_NTGUI -- can be replaced with WINDOWSNT, since the W32 build doesn't use any other GUI
This is there so that theoretically users can build a smaller text only Emacs. I have never heard of anyone doing so in the last ten years, and would not be surprised if such a build fails, especially since the multi-tty and unicode merges, so it may not be important. Perhaps it should be added to the list of variables appended to src/config.h by configure.bat to make it easier to test the text-only build.
USE_CRT_DLL -- looks like it's unneeded, since we never use anything but the CRTDLL.dll runtime
I think there was at least an experimental attempt many years ago to use MSVCRT.dll with the msvc compiler, and if we are ever to get more recent versions of msvc working again it will be necessary to keep this around.
