    --with-gcc: export the CC environment variable, so the setting gets
    picked up by sub-configures.  Perhaps we should be advising people to use
    
      CC=c:/mingw/bin/gcc ./configure
    
    because that works for all configure scripts, not just the top level one.
    
    Background:
    
     - We want --with-gcc to do the right thing, because we don't want
       to require Cygwin users to put c:/mingw/bin first on their
       path: that would break their Cygwin environment.
    
     - The build system should work with *no* gcc on your PATH, as long
       as you use --with-gcc (equivalently, CC=... ./configure).
