Win32 mingw build fails, typo in engine/CMakeLists.txt

[DeltaLima]

Describe the bug
When compiling the win32 dedicated server executable, the build fails with cannot find -lWs2_32

$ mkdir -p mingw-build
$ cd mingw-build
$ export CC="ccache i686-w64-mingw32-gcc"
$ export CXX="ccache i686-w64-mingw32-g++"
$ export CFLAGS="-static-libgcc -no-pthread"
$ export CXXFLAGS="-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++"
$ cmake -DXASH_DEDICATED=ON -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-m32" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-m32" ../
$ make -j2 VERBOSE=1
.... output ...

• OS and Arch: Debian 12 amd 64 / Debian 10 amd64
• Engine version: latest master branch, commit 3589a50

solution
looks like Ws2_32 has to be lower case in engine/CMakeLists.txt:

I wrote a blogpost about this to document it for myself and others, in case you need some more information :) : https://deltalima.org/blog/index.php/2024/01/17/howto-xcompile-xash3d-ng-for-reactos-on-linux/

We don't supply mingw builds because of its practical useless for Windows platform.
