'make check' now completed.

tester and unit tests all pass.

func tests had one failure; netsync_key_hooks didn't get the expected
return value from the server when sent SIGTERM. I think this is a known
bug in MinGW, so we should skip that test.

All of the extra tests failed, as on the previous release. The failure
is 'attempt to call global 'mtn_setup' (a nil value)', so there's
something fundamental wrong in extra test driver.

In sum; as far as Cygwin and MinGW are concerned, nvm.lua-5.2 can be
merged to main.
