    * configure python.exe path correctly
    * turn off CUDA option
    * do several times of "configure" untill all is OK. 
  - mingw32-make 2>&1 | tee build.log
    * ... takes some while
  - mingw32-make install 2>&1 | tee install.log
  - post installation
    * set system path to <openCV>/install/bin
    * set pthon path to <openCV>/install/Python2.*/Lib/site-packages
