As I general rule I try to keep these types of defines limited to
only where they are needed so that ccache can do a better job on
recompiles after you change a compile time option. But in this
case it isn't really relevant since you won't enable/disable MINGW
between compiles on the same machine. But I'm thinking forward to
a MinGW less Windows port at some time in the future.
