[PATCH] Makefile.m32: fix mingw32 build

From the commit log:

* add . to include path so ares_build.h is picked up
* make ar configurable to ease cross-compiling

On a side note, can you guys start using GH pull requests? It's kind
of annoying to have to subscribe to yet another mailing list,
especially when it's a trivial patch like this.

I strongly dislike github pull requests unless the patch has been properly 
reviewed and discussed on the list first (which then pretty much takes away 
the need to send a pull request). A few reasons:

* We want patches to be reviewed, tested and commented by anyone who's
   interested and volunteering: that is anyone on the mailing list can speak
   up. Pull requests on github assume there's a limited core group that does
   such things.

* I don't want annoying merge commits and github pull requests can't even be
   forced to avoid them.

* Merging patches off the list allows us to tweak the commit messages before
   the commits are pushed which makes them better.

* Having the discussions and reviews done on the mailing list gives us a much
   better record and unified place where they happen instead of spread out in
   on github.
