Thanks for doing that on mingw :P
Could I make a plea for 1.9 windows users to try to consolidate on
mingw, versus other compilers?  Cross It would make it easier , and have
less targets for binary distributables [and they're easier, thanks to
Luis' cross compiler [1]].  It would also coalesce open source projects,
so we could all benefit each other [mingw is open source, VC not].
It's just my opinion but it would seem to make sense.
Thoughts?
