I have read what MinGW people wrote: they suggest puting WIN32
in condition. For now that would probably work, but I do
not like. One reasin is because Microsoft some day may decide
that Windows (they seem to call all their OS products Windows)
is no longer WIN32 and break it that way. For me its looks
better to test which variant compiles -- after all we do not
care if system is Windows or not but if 'mkdir' with two
arguments works or not. Given that test is try to compile
our code, I am tempted to add somwhat evil logic to Makefile:
- try to compile two argument version, if it works use the resulting
object file
- if first step failed, try one argument version, it it compiles
ose the resulting object file
- if both compiles above failed issue error message and fail
(which normally stops build)
