[GoogleCodeExporter]

Per Abrahamsen reported that he was able to compile and install Google Test
successfully on Cygwin for MinGW.  "make check" fails with some errors
though.  The following patch by Per fixes some, but not all, errors.

mingw

I cannot verify it, but this is likely to be fixed in 1.2.0.  Please re-open 
the bug 
if you still have problem building gtest 1.2.0 on mingw.
