If you're using the configure script, you don't need to edit config.mk.
It doesn't hurt if you do, though.

The autoconf configuration doesn't have any entries for MinGW, so it
falls back to some guesses. If you look in configure.ac and
mk/beforeauto.mk.in, you'll see a whole load of things about specific
platforms. If you copy the ones for Cygwin, that will probably be a good
starting point.
