Summary: mingw installation incomplete

Initial Comment:
Doing 'make install' copies the windows binaries into some random directory.

However, libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll are not copied making it 
impossible to run the viewer.

Message:
This is intended behavior.  If you want the Windows binaries to not depend
on libstdc++ and libgcc, you need to configure the project with
-DBUILD_STATIC=1 (this is described in BUILDING.txt.)  It isn't the
project's job to install external dependent DLLs, because we have no idea
where those might be stored on your system.  Conceivably, a TigerVNC build
could depend on:  MinGW DLLs, libjpeg-turbo DLLs, GnuTLS DLLs, etc.  If you
want a "run anywhere" binary, those libraries need to be linked statically.
 If you want to just run TigerVNC on your own system, then simply add the
directories containing its dependent DLLs to the system PATH.
