FYI, there are three largely orthogonal problems here:

- host support (so it can be run on mingw)
Missing fork.  Struct problems.  This should be largely handled by 
configure.in.

- native support (so it can debug mingw programs)
The win32-nat.c changes.

- architecture support (so it can handle mingw ISA/ABI issues)
tm-*.h *.mt, *-tdep.c.

Note that, for the last one, GDB's been restructured so that the  tm-*.h 
file is no longer needed.  If the patches still have a tm-*.h file then 
`why' is something to investigate further.

If nothing else, bug report this.  Fixing it should be a no-op.

As a ser-winsock2 file or as mods to ser-tcp?
