We also need and have on our docket exploring the MinGW build 
issues, as Cygwin has lagged, for the trading-shim project

The Emerging Technologies folks at Red Hat have been working 
on pushing MinGW into RH's Fedora developmental line

[ It is somewhat curious, in that the Cygnus folks (an early 
purchase by RHT) are not at the tip of this spear, but as I 
lurk on the Cygwin mailing list, I see much of a desire to get 
closure on new releases; I have a need for getaddrinto() for 6 
month's now in Cugnux but they do not yet support IPv6 and 
fairly standard things on Linux ]

It may be productive to ping the following person, and run 
down these links.

Subject: fedora-d-rh] MinGW on Fedora - an update

Dan Berrange (in particular) and myself (a little) have done 
quite a bit more work on mingw in Fedora.

We now have:
  - automatic dependency generation
  - automatic stripping of binaries
  - a collection of RPM macros which simplify writing spec files
  - ~10 working libraries

Anyway, check out the development repository:
  http://hg.et.redhat.com/misc/fedora-mingw--devel/

Please read the README file first!

Rich.
