For setargv.obj, it is equivalent to doing "int _dowildcard = 1;" in any
linked object on mingw.

For wmain, regular mingw does not support it, but mingw-w64 does. The
issue is that the former is far more common in the wild.

I still prefer the __wgetmainargs approach, the exact same code can be
used for both mingw and msvc. We don't need to care about 9x, I think.
