* win/README: Change minimum VC++ version to 5.X since
4.X is known not to work. Indicate that Mingw is required and building with Cygwin gcc is not supported. Include instructions that indicate how to install Mingw and what URLs folks should use to download the supported version of Mingw. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Error out if user tries to compile the Windows version of Tcl with Cygwin gcc. Users should compile with Mingw gcc instead.
