Hello,

WFP isn't on mingw because nobody got around to do it yet, but you can
help out.

mingw-w64 on the other hand has very basic (or broken) WFP support, with
most of the defined constants missing due to missing MSDN entries.

I believe both mingw and mingw-w64 can benefit if you are willing to
provide documentation for WFP as an independent party.

mingw-w64 has setup a publicly readable but moderated list specifically
for posting documentation but it is woefully under utilized. See [1] for
information on the mingw-w64-documentation mailing list and the
rationale behind it.

Basically, you won't be able to submit patches directly, but can submit
information that can help get WFP working on mingw.

Please do ask if you have any questions.
