GDAL/OGR 1.3.1 Released - Building failed on Windows with MinGW

[Tamas Szekeres]

David,

Without being concerned with MinGW/Msys the library successfully compiles
on Windows using VS7. The only problem was with the compilation of the
SWIG C# library that could finally be succeeded with the method described
in:
