 Use the ${ln_s} variable so config.h, config.mak anf mythconfig.mak  are
 always updated when using MinGW.

 Since MinGW (on windows at least) does not support symlinking natively it
 makes a copy instead of a link, new compiles are not updated by 'ln -s' as
 the file already exists, by forcing it it will update the file.
 As ${ln_s} already defines to use 'ln -sf' I made the change to use this
 variable.
 Since ${ln_s} is already defined in the core configure I also defined it
 here and set it to 'ln -sf'.

 Since my pull request (https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/pull/6) seems to
 also include the patch of #9957 I have also added them as patches here.
