Mingw has always had a huge number of format warnings. See for example 
<http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=frogmouth&dt=2011-01-17%2007%3A30%3A00&stg=make>

If someone wants to fix them that would be good, but I'm not sure it's a 
simple task. There's probably some discussion of it in the archives back 
when we first did the Windows port.
