The 'mingw32-configure.sh' shell script in /usr/bin is for developers
who are doing builds outside the context of RPMs. As such it should only
set the minimal possible args to cross-compile. It should not apply RPM
packaging policy. So we don't need to change mingw32-configure.sh

Just the %_mingw32_ocnfigure macro definition whose purpose is to apply
RPM packaging policy such as man page in /usr/share/man
