Details:

Hi, 

While trying to build the dev version on MinGW I get several errors like

lo-utils.cc: In function 'std::string octave_fgets(FILE*, bool&)':
> lo-utils.cc:127:11: error: 'fgets' is not a member of 'gnulib'
> lo-utils.cc:127:11: note: suggested alternatives:
> c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/../../../../include/stdio.h:354:39:
note:   'fgets'

and the same for fflush and others. I solved a couple of these with #ifdefs
but this should have been a configure's job. 
If mingw provides fgets, fflush, ... it should not try to use those in
gnulib.

#if !defined(__MINGW32__) && !defined(__MINGW64__)
      gnulib::fflush (stderr);
#else
      fflush (stderr);
#endif
