I've reverted the change which introduced the circular dependency, and
published 5.3.3.

With no change to the compiler specs, and a clean rebuild of all MinGW
libraries, I am no longer able to reproduce the libmingwex-2.dll fault,
which prompted the change in 5.3.2, having cross-compiled several test
programs, which had previously succumbed to the DLL fault when run on
native Windows hosts, (but not under Wine).  All of my tests now pass,
both when dynamically, and when statically linked; all run successfully
under Wine, and in VirtualBox hosted 32-bit WinXP and Win7 guests.
