I'm still using the complete mingw 1.1 package and just noticed the w32api
1.2 update includes a excpt.h file with the empty __try and __except defines
work around. The problem is the mingw-runtime and w32api 1.2 files both
include completely different excpt.h files, which was reported back in
Decebemr on mingw mailing lsit but stil has not been fixed. Could someone
please fix this problem, especially since next mingw verison is due out
anytime now I hear.
I have attached patch for mingw runtime cvs is it is any help, just don't
forget to remove excpt.h from w32api cvs.
