pgsql: Update docs on building for Windows to accomodate current realit
Update docs on building for Windows to accomodate current reality.
Document how to build 64 bit Windows binaries using the MinGW64 tool set.
Remove recommendation against using Mingw as a build platform.
Be more specific about when Cygwin is useful and when it's not, in
particular note its usefulness for running psql, and
add a note about building on Cygwin in non-C locales.
Per recent discussions.

This commit refers to www.mingw64.org which does not exist.
Also, clicking on the gitweb link below (from GMail), opens the browser
window with an address where ';' are replaced with %3B , which leads to 404
- no such project. Is GMail broken, or can have gitweb treat %3B as a ; ?

This has also been fixed, per previous emails. I think GMail is not
necessarily broken, but it changed behaviour to one that no other MUA
has.. And gitweb isn't really dealing with that. But the current URLs
generated are sent through a redirector that works around the gmail
issue.

I call that broken over here.

It'd doing URL escaping. AFAIK, it's not doing anything that's not
specifically allowed for in the HTML standard.
But arguing that point is pointless, given that the workaround seems
to work fine...

All I know is that if right-click, open-link-in-new-tab works; then
clicking on the link directly ought to work, too. Fail.
