[Boost-build] bootstrap.bat for mingw users (in order to build 1.45.0)

Hi,

As previously mentioned in other posts, one has to build bjam that comes
with boost 1.45.0 in order to be able to build boost.
Just in case anybody tries to build it with mingw I had to change two lines
in bootstrap.bat

I have added the mingw paramenter in line 13:
call .\build.bat *mingw* > ..\..\..\bjam.log

And changed toolset to gcc in line 33:
set toolset=*gcc*

Best regards,
Mau.

If you prefer, here it is the full bootstrap.bat changed script:

REM Ideally, we should obtain the toolset that build.bat has
REM guessed. However, it uses setlocal at the start and does
REM export BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET, and I don't know how to do that
REM properly. Default to msvc for now.
