[PATCH] Mingw-w64 driver for clang

[Yaron Keren]

ismail:

I do not find the mingw.org distribution useful anymore compared with the
mingw-w64 based ones.

OTOH  supporting mingw,org seems trivial, few code lines in MinGW::MinGW
and in MinGW::AddClangCXXStdlibIncludeArgs to get the right directories and
commenting out the -lpthread you mentioned.
mingw.org is still quite popular, see the number of download for the
installers


http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get/mingw-get-0.6.2-beta-20131004-1/

(ignore the other numbers, they are inflated since the installer download
them).

I don't have a strong opinion. We can decide that clang does not support
mingw.org and or go on with the minimal code support required.
