Nah, nah, na-na-naaah.  I've done it, and I said wouldn't  :)

Seriously, and rethinking a bit after sleep, it is safer to do
it from scratch, so the copyright issues are cleared.

The initial changes are pretty mechanic, so, here goes.

What's done:

	- Added mingw.mh, mingw.mt as copies from the cygwin files.
	- Updated configure.tgt to set gdb_target.
	- Disabled cygwin specific functionality in win32-nat.c.  As can
	be seen, the changes are very small.
	- profs.h isn't needed anymore, since I've implemented cygwin cross-core 
support a few weeks ago (in i386-cygwin-tdep.c).  The include can be
	unconditionally removed.

What's next:

	Test with a mingw built libexpat to test dll support.

	win32_pid_to_exec_file:  Could be done with GetModuleFileNameEx
	from PSAPI and/or with toolhelp.

	Rename a few things, which really aren't cygwin specific, like:
		* cygwin_get_dr6 -> win32_get_dr6
		* i386-cygwin-tdep.h -> i386-win32-tdep.h
		* nm-cygwin.h -> nm-cygming.h

What's disabled:
	Use a shell to start the subprocess.

I'm sure there are other problems, but it is useable already.
