[efl: moved MinGW-specific part to compat/] [jes: fixed compilation on non-Windows]

Eric Sunshine fixed mingw_offset_1st_component() to return consistently "foo" for UNC "//machine/share/foo", cf http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/browse_thread/thread/c0af578549b5dda0

Hello, this is another patch that lived in msysGit for years, at least from Jul 13, 2010. It was there in two parts, first sketch by Cezary and a fix from Eric Sunshine, but I decided to submit the combined version.

Let me note that this patch should not affect any non-Windows platform. The chnage of offset_1st_component() to a simple macro is ok, because has_dos_drive_prefix() is 0 there.

Regards,
  Stepan
