The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) library re-defines the struct iovec on Win32 [*]. QEMU also re-defines it in "qemu/osdep.h". The two definitions then clash on a MinGW build. We can avoid the SASL definition by defining STRUCT_IOVEC_DEFINED. Add the definition to vnc_sasl_cflags if we are uing MinGW.
