When I run make -jN with MSYS mingw build, build failed as the following.

sh-3.1$ rm -rf ruby.exe rubyw.exe *.dll *.res.o ext/zlib ext/win32ole
sh-3.1$ gnumake -j6

Linking rubyw.exe is executed while linking msvcrt-ruby200.dll, which causes link failure of rubyw.exe.

I attached a patch to fix rubyw.exe dependencies. It seems to work fine with mingw, mswin(nmake) and osx. So I'll commit it if no one objects.

FYI:
I'm using patched mingw-make since MSYS-make hangs with -jN and original mingw-make isn't compatible with MSYS-make.

extmk.rb: fix mingw make failure with make -jN

• common.mk (WPROGRAM): need same dependencies as PROGRAM.

• cygwin/GNUmakefile.in (uncommon.mk): move include position
  below WPROGRAM definition to be defined in uncommon.mk.

• ext/extmk.rb (all, static): fix make rubyw.exe failure with make -jN.
  If make of ruby.exe and rubyw.exe run in parallel, link dll and link
  exe run in parallel, which causes link failure on mingw. To fix this,
  we make ruby.exe and rubyw.exe in one make process.
