[PATCH 1/2] MinGW: a helper function that translates Win32 API error codes

This function translates many possible Win32 error codes to suitable errno numbers. We will use it in our wrapper functions that need to call into Win32.

  Dscho,
  I've split this off from the Petr's hard-link patch and moved the function
  to the top or mingw.c because we should reuse it in our other wrappers
  to convert error codes.
