Subject: Don't explicitly link against msvcrt when using MinGW.
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=679b67fee662acf52b2b1af175101ee323ae7d60;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

Don't explicitly link against msvcrt when using MinGW.

The latest releases of MinGW generate hard linker errors
when msvcrt is specified explicitly.  It will still link
against this library implicitly anyways, so specifying it
isn't needed.
