The check is failing here with mingw because it can't find the header
"gif_lib.h". 
This doesn't happen with msvc because the gnuwin32 include path is in
the INCLUDE env variable, while on mingw I have it set in the
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH. Shouldn't cmake honor that and pass the paths in
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH to the TRY_COMPILE command?
