Let's do !MINGW for now, unless somebody can think of a reason why
this change and tests are a bad idea (e.g. "we are not in the
business of preventing users from shooting themselves; have the
users bug those who wrote the software that spawns us with SIGPIPE
ignored", to which I am sympathetic to some degree but not very much
because I am also a practical person).
Thanks.
