Summary: Compiling ScummVM/MinGW updated

Initial Comment:
After playing around with compiling ScummVM in MinGW, I've considered updating the Wiki page. The result is attached and can be viewed live here:
http://goo.gl/4ofPy
It also includes links to two required patches and an updated distribution of precompiled libraries, currently hosted on my webspace. Even though my hoster doesn't limit traffic and it probably will be available the next few years I'd like someone (i.e. the ScummVM-admins) to rehost them on scummvm.org - just to have it in one place. :-)
There are a few small things which still could be improved:
how to compile fluidsynth and wxwidgets (I've included the binaries from the previous collection of precompiled libraries)
and maybe how to get the latest sources via svn.

By the way, I consider myself a beginner in MinGW and compiling software in general, so there still may be room for improvement.

The work is based on the current ScummVM-wiki page, http://wiki.openttd.org/Compiling_on_MinGW and research on the forums and elsewhere on the web. The sources for the patches are included as links on the wiki page.

Awaiting your feedback
Happy new year, :-)
merkur
