GCC version.c: Affect Version Number Only for MinGW/Cygwin

Hi,

     A minor point: the MinGW patches to GCC currently
modify the GCC version string straightaway to "mingw-special
..." - they should instead patch the GCC version.c file in
a way like this:
-------------------------- 8< -----------------------------
#if defined (__MINGW32__)
const char *const version_string = "3.2 (MinGW special 20020817-1)";
#else if defined (__CYGWIN__)
const char *const version_string = "3.2 (Cygwin special 20020817-1)";
#else
const char *const version_string = "3.2";
#endif
-------------------------- 8< -----------------------------

Otherwise, the source becomes "polluted" in the sense that
a GCC built from this sources, say on Linux, also insists
that it is "mingw special".

Sincerely Yours,
Ranjit.
