Being a GUI application on Windows (with related flag in the executable header
- see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20090101-00/?p=19643/), OS
would detect the subsystem before launching the application, and won't attach
the parent console or redirected output handles from it to the application.
Also, different hacks to reattach the GUI application to the console later are
unreliable on different Windows versions, and work improperly (the output goes
to the console after the launch command has already returned, which is wrong
in batch files). This makes it extremily difficult to do CLI operations with
LibreOffice on Windows, with error codes/warnings/messages/output missing or
going to wrong consoles.
Making an executable for CUI subsystem, on the other hand, makes Windows to
allocate a console before starting it when the program is run by itself. This
makes the console window to appear on screen unconditionally, even if it's
hidden later when the program has started. This flashing is undesirable.
But we use a wrapper executable on Windows, called soffice.exe, which is what
actually launched by user, and which runs soffice.bin. This allows us to make
soffice.bin the proper console application, and thus make it capable to behave
properly in CLI scenarios, while avoid the console flashing when run from the
soffice.exe (which would suppress the console creation using DETACHED_PROCESS
creation flag to CreateProcessW).
Also creating a new wrapper for console (soffice.com) allows to use command
lines which omit explicit executable extension (no ".bin"), like this:
"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice" --help
which allows to continue using multiple available help resources unchanged,
since .com extension is tried prior to .exe by Windows' cmd.exe.

We cannot silently convert user data or their used file formats
and then await them to accept it or reinstall an older version.
Let us make a soft change instead of an hard (heart) break
and avoid us to been attacked with fire and forks from our users.

In OOo times, there'd originally been efforts to allow building on Windows with
MinGW. Later, in LO times, this has been shifted to an attempt of cross-
compiling for Windows on Linux. That attempt can be considered abandoned, and
the relevant code rotting.
Due to this heritage, there are now three kinds of MinGW-specific code in LO:
* Code from the original OOo native Windows effort that is no longer relevant
for the LO cross-compilation effort, but has never been removed properly.
* Code from the original OOo native Windows effort that is re-purposed for the
LO cross-compilation effort.
* Code that has been added specifially for the LO cross-compilation effort.
All three kinds of code are removed.
(An unrelated, remaining use of MinGW is for --enable-build-unowinreg, utilizing
--with-mingw-cross-compiler, MINGWCXX, and MINGWSTRIP.)

Only libraries (and similar for executables) built as Library need to be
registered; those built via ExternalProject are delivered by Project and
used via gb_LinkTarget_add_libs. This also means there is no need to
mangle the names in RepositoryFixes.mk.

Those .jnilibs that are not needed as .dylibs (this includes those that are also

libjava_uno.jnilib is packaged as a symlink in instdir. Everything else is not

openssl gets a honorable mention because apparently it's undocumented
