Hello Jim,

> Prompted by a report from Bruno Haible that mingw lacks ftruncate.
I also meant to make life easier to people using mingw. mingw will not have
gone away in three years - that's more a matter of 10-15 years. How about this?

* m4/ftruncate.m4 (gl_FUNC_FTRUNCATE): Don't request a complaint mail
from mingw users.
