Hi. Here is a small diff (for makefile.win32 and src/makefile.win32
only) that makes Geany 1.22 Win~1 compilation and installation
independent of MSYS. Usage:

C> mingw32-make -f makefile.win32
C> mingw32-make -f makefile.win32 install

Tested with mingw, cmd/tcc. Should work with MSYS make too... but I had
to use backslashes in the install: target, and am not sure if/how MSYS
make escapes them. Win~1 fully supports forward slashes internally, but
the command interpreters have only partial support.

All install: destination paths, yes. About the others - will anyone put
gtk+ under "C:\Documents and Settings", or something like that?

The truth to be said, all paths should be quoted under all OS-es, but
nobody does that unless a path with spaces is really likely.
