Today I fixed that problem (which I think was due to a MinGW-4.7.2 Ada
compiler bug, but I found a simple way to work around it).  I also
fixed a MinGW/MSYS PATH manipulation issue in
scripts/comprehensive_test.sh that I discovered via a preliminary test
today.

I now have started an overnight noninteractive comprehensive test job
running on my MinGW/MSYS/Wine platform.  The equivalent job on Linux
takes about 30 minutes, but on Wine it should be much longer (if it
goes all the way through to a success on that platform) because of the
command startup latency issue for Wine that I have discussed before.
