I don't get why we need the "iovec != yes" check there ?

On mingw sys/uio.h doesn't exist, so "$iovec" will always
be "no", and so this conditional is equivalent to

   if test "$mingw32" = "yes; then


If for some strange reason, a future Windows adds sys/uio.h
header containing struct iovec, then QEMU won't define its
own local copy if struct iovec, and so "$iovec" will be "yes".

In this situation we don't want SASL to define its struct iovec 
either.

IOW we need -DSTRUCT_IOVEC_DEFINED no matter what $iovec value
is AFAICT.

This would mean the previous patch is redundant too.
