Both work, but there is a difference: If you use the "Unix" way, you will
get the Cygwin version of fossil. It depends on cygwin1.dll, and doesn't
function outside the Cygwin environment.
However, if you use Makefile.mingw (and edit PREFIX to point to either
MinGW or MinGW-w64, which are separate packages which
can be installed through the Cygwin setup.exe) then the result
will be a win32 fossil.exe.
This executable works fine outside the Cygwin environment, but
can be used within Cygwin as well. So, the Makefile.mingw
build is preferred.
