Rename README.windows to README.mingw.md

Since it is mingw specific and does not really
involve other compilers.

-# Building
-
-For Windows systems, LibreSSL supports the mingw-w64 toolchain, which can use
-GCC or Clang as the compiler. Contrary to its name, mingw-w64 supports both
-32-bit and 64-bit build environments. If your project already uses mingw-w64,
-then LibreSSL should integrate very nicely. Old versions of the mingw-w64
-toolchain, such as the one packaged with Ubuntu 12.04, may have trouble
-building LibreSSL. Please try it with a recent toolchain if you encounter
-troubles. Cygwin provides an easy method of installing the latest mingw-w64
-cross compilers on Windows.
-
-To configure and build LibreSSL for a 32-bit system, use the following
-build steps:
-
- CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc CPPFLAGS=-D__MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT \
- ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32
- make
- make check
-
-For 64-bit builds, use these instead:
-
- CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
- make
- make check
-
-# Why the -D__MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT flag on 32-bit systems?
-
-An ABI change introduced with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (also known as
-Visual C++ 8.0) switched time_t from 32-bit to 64-bit. It is important to
-build LibreSSL with 64-bit time_t whenever possible, because 32-bit time_t
-is unable to represent times past 2038 (this is commonly known as the
-Y2K38 problem).
-
-If LibreSSL is built with 32-bit time_t, when verifying a certificate whose
-expiry date is set past 19 January 2038, it will be unable to tell if the
-certificate has expired or not, and thus take the safe stance and reject it.
-
-In order to avoid this, you need to build LibreSSL (and everything that links
-with it) with the -D__MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT flag. This tells mingw-w64 to
-use the new ABI.
-
-64-bit systems always have a 64-bit time_t and are not affected by this
-problem.
