Commit 7360122ba973dfea6604ee1b378f79ce6399af3e

Fix file renaming in MinGW We now use MoveFileEx, which is not assured to be atomic but works for always (both if the destination exists, or if it doesn't) and is available in MinGW. Since this is a Win32 API call, complaint about lost or overwritten files should be forwarded at Steve Ballmer. Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>
