The docker image sounds useful.  However, building with Mingw on
Windows would use the Unix makefiles.  I've never tested that build
combination and doubt that anyone else has done so recently either.
Right now I'm focused on just getting Windows builds to work with
nmake and MSVC.  Mingw can come later, especially since it (at least
currently) and MSVC are tied to different build systems.

It would be nice to eventually adopt a single build system that would
work well with all combinations of platforms and compilers, but
discussing that seems somewhat premature.

Btw, the pages below on Tcl-based replacements for make and autoconf
are interesting, especially in that it should be feasible to have
**Tcl itself** self-host on such tools, while avoiding the
chicken-and-egg problem:

  http://wiki.tcl.tk/27561
  http://wiki.tcl.tk/27197
  http://wiki.tcl.tk/12593

But I'd want get the opinion of the Tcl core team and other experts
before going very far down such a path, either for Naviserver or in my
own code.
