Thank you for making this release.

Regarding this:

  * The opendir()/readdir() API has been modified, to avoid potential
    ambiguities in the layout of the "dirent" structure, arising from
    Microsoft's changes to the size of the timestamp fields within the
    embedded "_finddata_t" structure; (note that this introduces an ABI
    change, necessitating recompilation of any third party libraries
    which are to be used with this new mingwrt release).

Are there any plans for uploading to the MinGW site new builds of
libraries that are affected by this incompatibility?  E.g., libltdl
seems to be affected.
