Hi,

I'm using another compiler built on clang that cross compiles to windows. So I'm trying to use it using the 'mingw' define. Is this the right way to go about it? I can't seem to change the mingw path.
```
$ nim c -d:mingw --amd64.windows.gcc.path=$PWD --amd64.windows.gcc.exe=gcc-win ...

/usr/bin/gcc-win: No such file or directory
```

Try something like --amd64.windows.gcc.exe:/path/to/gcc-win

When you do cross compiling, you need to specify OS or CPU to nim with --os or --cpu options. Just change path to gcc is not enough.

Thanks. I realize now I was assuming -d:mingw took care of that. Works well now!
