there's also Dev-Cpp\mingw

AFAIK when you create a c++ project you have to adjust your include 
paths to match mingw version (currently it's 3.2)

According to this page:
http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html
this is the mingw that was used:
ftp://ftp.nanotech.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/snapshots/gcc-3.0-1/

AFAIK those components were used in current dev-cpp 5:
gdb-5.1.1-1-mingw.tar.gz
w32api-2.2.tar.gz
mingw-runtime-2.4.tar.gz
make-3.79.1-20010722.tar.gz
one of gcc-3.2 releases (with patches?)
one of binutils-2.13.90 releases (with patches?)

so basicly you would need to update those.

I think it would be good to start testing those and see the what's 
happening. mingw gcc 3.4.0 is still a cadidate.
I think it would be fairly easy to create a packman entries and then 
devpaks for with mingw components and then just upgrade them. This 
wouldn't make
as big of a mess than just unzipping the components.
Maybe I'll spend some thime on that and post the results later here....
