[Freeciv-Dev] tutorial for building with MinGW & MSYS

["James Canete" <use_less@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I figure I can't be the only person who develops on Windows using MinGW
and MSYS (or at least wants to), so I wrote up a quick tutorial on how
exactly I got it working.

Caveats:

- I might have completely screwed up the libpng dll numbering scheme by
  rewriting the makefile, but it was the only way I could get libpng and
  zlib to play nicely together.
- I tested this by rebuilding my MinGW install from scratch and only
  installing what I absolutely needed.  No idea what'll happen with
  different libraries installed.
- I have no idea where to nab the pngs used for distribution, and they
  weren't in the stable source distro, so I left that hanging at the end.
- I make no promises on how completely wrong and horrible this tutorial
  may be.  :)

This useful at all?
