I found the problem.  man is expecting manmingw not mingw (for the
section), so what it's looking for is:

/usr/share/man/manmingw/basename.mingw
/usr/share/man/manmingw/dirname.mingw

not

/usr/share/man/mingw/basename.mingw
/usr/share/man/mingw/dirname.mingw

Which makes sense really, given how the existing sections work.
Should I make a new release to work in this fashion, or should man be
modified?

Chris
