Update to support building with MinGW #78

We cannot call MinGW a fully supported platform for C++11 yet:

 - Concurrency is not yet supported by MinGW, so it is disabled by default
 - A problem in the memory model / library loader is preventing derived type
   casts from working. This may be able to be worked around, but has not been
   yet.
