Thus, is there not some standard means that could be used for wine to tell the various MinGW compilers built on Microsoft Windows but run under wine to always #define __WINE__?
I am quite sure AJ will object to any such things - as far as the various compilers (and windows applications in general) are concerned, they should just believe they are running under windows. If a compiler (or a windows application) behaves differently under Microsoft Windows vs under wine, it is a bug for wine.
AFAIK, the only "recommended/supported" way for an application to tell that it is running under wine vs under windows is by querying the presence of one of wine-specific registry entries. It is quite "evil" for a compiler to query the registry. Microsoft compilers probably try to probe the host about which versions of windows it is running in to work around "silently" various bugs in different/older versions of OSes which are fixed later, but I doubt any mingw people or GNU people for that matter, want to go down that path.
In other words, don't even think about it.
