Norman,

OK, I would be happy to make such a change, but how do we drive it?  That is,
how does configure now when it should set CPL_VSIL_STDIO to tif_vsil_win32.o
instead of tif_vsil_unix_stdio_64.o?   Do I need to watch for a MINGW cannonical
name for the platform or something like that?

Note, I don't use MINGW so a specific patch I can apply would be the safest
way to approach this if you have the time to prepare one.

Best regards,
