Ticket 207: Build error with MinGW cross-compilation
A MinGW build fails with
  libtool: install: ./shtool install -c -m 755 -s .libs/uuid /nix/store/r8clhx2d35c4iy3y299ifx1i8lpaphcx-libossp-uuid-x86_64-w64-mingw32-1.6.2/bin/uuid
  cp: cannot stat '.libs/uuid': No such file or directory
The problem is that the built executable file has a .exe suffix which needs to be accounted for. The following patch fixes this in a cross-platform way:
  diff --git a/Makefile.in b/Makefile.in
  --- a/Makefile.in
  +++ b/Makefile.in
