Stephan Bergmann 8646ab97dc Remove MinGW support
In OOo times, there'd originally been efforts to allow building on Windows with
MinGW.  Later, in LO times, this has been shifted to an attempt of cross-
compiling for Windows on Linux.  That attempt can be considered abandoned, and
the relevant code rotting.

Due to this heritage, there are now three kinds of MinGW-specific code in LO:

* Code from the original OOo native Windows effort that is no longer relevant
  for the LO cross-compilation effort, but has never been removed properly.

* Code from the original OOo native Windows effort that is re-purposed for the
  LO cross-compilation effort.

* Code that has been added specifially for the LO cross-compilation effort.

All three kinds of code are removed.

(An unrelated, remaining use of MinGW is for --enable-build-unowinreg, utilizing
--with-mingw-cross-compiler, MINGWCXX, and MINGWSTRIP.)

Audio/Video media implementation.

Provides per-platform implementations of multimedia functionality.
Currently no stream API is provided, only a URI based one, so
streaming has to be wrapped around it via temp files.

Also provides (in source/framework/mediacontrol.cxx) an implementation
of the graphical media playback control that appears in the toolbar /
mediaobject bar when media is selected under the .uno:AVMediaToolBox
item.

== avmedia/gstreamer ==

The avmedia component is implementation of manager service defined in
offapi/com/sun/star/media/. Radek has added implementation based on
gstreamer so that we can add audio and video files into impress
presentation on Linux with gstreamer.

The implementation is pretty straightforward, sometimes it has
problems when gstreamer installation is incomplete.

In the beginning the media files were not embedded, Thorsten added
support for that later.

FUTURE work: it might be worthwhile to revamp the avmedia UI
