Fix default installation paths on mingw
Mingw config targets assumed that resulting programs and libraries are installed in a Unix-like environment and the default installation prefix was therefore set to '/usr/local'. However, mingw programs are installed in a Windows environment, and the installation directories should therefore have Windows defaults, i.e. the same kind of defaults as the VC config targets. A difficulty is, however, that a "cross compiled" build can't figure out the system defaults from environment the same way it's done when building "natively", so we have to fall back to hard coded defaults in that case. Tests can still be performed when cross compiled on a non-Windows platform, since all tests only depend on the source and build directory, and otherwise relies on normal local paths.

Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
+
+ Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
+ paths should be used for installation.

*) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
