config.mak.uname: provide a way to explicitely request MinGW build.
This is required to perform Linux->MinGW crosscompilation.

One day you might be able, but as of today...
1. Obtain x86_64-w64-mingw32 compiler for your *nix distro
* [Gentoo] emerge crossdev && crossdev -t x86_64-w64-mingw32
* [Debian/Ubuntu] apt-get install mingw-w64
2. Apply patch from this email to Git sources (git/git or msysgit/git - doesn't matter)
3. `make CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc MINGW=1`
4. Observe errors [1]
I would be happy to find out I'm doing something wrong -- Johannes says building
mingw64 Git is dirt-easy.
