make 3.81 MinGW port and testsuite working with MSYS

[J. Grant]

Hello,

I have the MinGW port, and the testsuite working with 3.81 code. I
tested this successfully with autoconf v2.59, automake v1.9.5, gcc 3.2.3
MinGW and MSYS 1.10. Also I checked everything still worked on a native
GNU/Linux build and test.

make-3.81beta2.MinGW.support.patch.bz2 is attached.

Below are the changes I have made, and the changes I transfered from the
3.80 MinGW port.  Please review them for addition.  If you can let me
know when the changes are included in the CVS version that would be
appreciated.

        * configure.in: Add MinGW configuration options, and extra w32 code
          directory.

        * Makefile.am: Add MinGW configuration options, and extra w32 code
          directory.

        * main.c: Determine correct program string (after last \ without .exe).

        * subproc/sub_proc.c: `GetExitCodeProcess' from incompatible pointer
          type fix  x2

        * w32/Makefile.am: Import to build win32 lib of sub_proc etc.

        * w32/Makefile.in: Generated by automake so that configure can create
          the Makefile.

        * subproc/w32err.c: MSVC thread directive not applied to MinGW builds.

        * tests/run_make_tests.pl, tests/test_driver.pl: MSYS testing
          environment support.


To use, apply the patch, run autoconf to regenerate configure, then:
./configure
make
make install

rename or remove c:\msys\1.0\bin\make.exe so your new exe is picked up from
c:\msys\1.0\local\bin\make.exe

25 tests are failing at present with MinGW build

21 tests failing at present with MSVC build

Some of the testsuite failed because of the way MSYS shell works i
believe, and because of the make program name including the directories.
I will investigate fixing these shortly.

The reason make.exe was getting deleted by the script at the end of each
test was because $pure_log contained "c:\msys\1.0\local\bin\make.exe"
and was being unlinked because $code did not match.  I revised the
script so it does not delete the "log" on MinGW/MSYS test runs for the
moment.

Kind regards
JG
