I would have expected that when building for mingw, Wine would use the
Wine headers and libraries. Otherwise, as mentioned above, if someone
adds tests that rely on items that are not in the mingw headers then
the tests will not be built for the conformance tests, as has been
seen recently. Also, what happens with the widl generated headers?
