Currently, when building for Windows, the default is to use Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler (MSVC). However, this compiler is not available on POSIX systems i.e. Linux and MacOS.
Furthermore, currently, Windows release versions are built using the MinGW cross-compiler on Linux. Therefore, it makes sense that, when building for Windows on POSIX systems, the default compiler is the MinGW compiler.
This PR makes MinGW the default compiler on POSIX systems.
