 Hi,

 I've updated the documentation for building TOR on MinGW, and attached the
 result (and the patch). Please, consider replacing the file <doc/tor-win32
 -mingw-creation.txt> with it.

 Here are the main changes:
  - the MinGW installer includes the MSYS and DTK packages, so there no
 need to download and install them separately.
  - there's no more issue with symlinks for openssl.
  - specifying "mingw" to the "Configure" command is enough to disable
 openssl ciphers/hashes that don't compile on MinGW.
  - since v1.2.5, zlib needs some extra (?) environment variables for its
 installation.
  - the libraries download links have been updated so that they point to
 the latest version to date.
  - instructions for executing unit-tests have been added for the libraries
 and TOR.

 Maybe zlib should be built before openssl since some optional features of
 openssl seems to depend on zlib. I followed these instructions in order to
 build TOR successfully on my WinXP computer.
