Description
Use the ${ln_s} variable so config.h, config.mak anf mythconfig.mak are always updated when using MinGW.
Since MinGW (on windows at least) does not support symlinking natively it makes a copy instead of a link, new compiles are not updated by 'ln -s' as the file already exists, by forcing it it will update the file. As ${ln_s} already defines to use 'ln -sf' I made the change to use this variable. Since ${ln_s} is already defined in the core configure I also defined it here and set it to 'ln -sf'.
Since my pull request (https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/pull/6) seems to also include the patch of #9957 I have also added them as patches here.
