Does not compile with MinGW #50

The makefile defaults to MSVC tools when Windows is detected, maybe there is a way to make it detect if its running in MSYS2 and switch to GCC automatically?

MinGW is currently untested. The original MinGW has it last significant update in the SourceForge repository in 2013 and will not be supported.

The 64 bit fork mingw-64 will be supported in the near future, but I have to build a proper virtual machine environment for it first.

The Makefile structure needs to be changed for that, but I am planning that anyway to make cross-compilation for other environments than the build environment smoother than with the current setup.
