Enable various features in MinGW builds.

I've reset the baseline to be the version of mingw-w64 that comes with
Ubuntu 14.04. Right now, that means no features need to be omitted; all
you need to do is set TOOLPATH to i686-w64-mingw32- .

I've removed -mno-cygwin without comment. Toolchains which don't support
this flag have been around since at least 2012, so we can probably
assume that no-one cares about older toolchains by now.
