Call to package maintainers for MinGW64 (photoresize, tkimg, vectcl, tktable, ...)

[tombert]

Hi all,

the MSYS2 environment returns for "uname -s":
MINGW64_NT-6.1

Most "configure" scripts are adapted to that fact, but some only check for *MINGW32*

The packages which need update are: photoresize, tkimg, vectcl, tktable, ... and maybe others.

Please, would you mind adding the above *MINGW64* check into your configure script?

Regards

[Óscar Fuentes]

The only change required for building tktable in MSYS2/Mingw-w64 is (1)

tkimage doesn't need it (2). The other packages you mention are absent from
the MSYS2/Mingw-Packages (3) repository.

tkimg seems to have some fallbacks which lead to the correct result, but I am not sure the difference.

At least I needed photoresize to patch, else it did not compile.
