Yes, go ahead.  I was thinking of a mingwPORT and then decided against 
that as it is one of the base utilities needed.  As for -j I remember 
on the make-gw32 list there was talk of some patches to try to make it 
work for windows.  It does require multiple CPU in the box to make it 
worth doing though.
