[Bf-committers] For MinGW builders

[Alexandr Kuznetsov]

Many vc2008 compiled libraries works on mingw and vc2010 without a problem.
If we have complete separate directories for each folder, it will take more
space on server and we would have to update lib for each compiler.
On the other hand, I think we can make  pointers from lib/MSVC2010 to
lib/Windows as we have setup with Python Scripts.
