MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows

I would like to follow newlib example of putting following (or similar)
from newlibs's _ansi.h into _mingw.h and then modify the C runtime
headers accordingly.

I think this would allow C++ conformance without having to do major
overhaul of C-runtime headers.

This approach, together with c-compatability layer is advice of Benjamin
Kosnik for frees systems (newlib, glibc, and BSD), offered  here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2002-06/msg00199.html

I propose to create CVS branch for this, with target of merge into head
prior to GCC 3.3 release early next year.
